I am a Reader in Economics at SOAS University of London where I am currently serving as the Head of the Department of Economics. My research focuses on ecological and financial macroeconomics, climate finance, climate-aligned development, inequalities, and the political economy of the green transition. My work has been published in several academic journals, including the Cambridge Journal of Economics, Ecological Economics, Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, the Journal of Banking & Finance, the Journal of Financial Stability, Nature Climate Change and New Political Economy. I have led and co-led multiple projects on the role of macroeconomic and financial policies in the green transition and have run capacity building programmes on climate change for many central banks. I am a Senior Fellow at the SOAS Centre for Sustainable Finance and a Fellow at the Forum for Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM). I am also a Committee member of the Post-Keynesian Economics Society (PKES), an Associate Editor of the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, an Editorial Board member of the journal Ecological Economics and an Associate Editor of the Review of Evolutionary Political Economy.
