I am a Senior Lecturer in Economics at SOAS University of London. I am also the Research Director of the SOAS Department of Economics, a Senior Fellow at the SOAS Centre for Sustainable Finance and a Fellow at the Forum for Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM). My research interests include financial macroeconomics, climate finance, ecological macroeconomics, climate-aligned development and inequality. My work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, such as the Cambridge Journal of Economics, Ecological Economics, Environment and Planning A, New Political Economy, the Journal of Financial Stability and Nature Climate Change. I have worked as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on projects funded, amongst others, by the ClimateWorks Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council, and have run capacity building programmes on climate change for many central banks. I am a Committee member of the Post-Keynesian Economics Society (PKES) and a Council member of the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE).
