Summary

I am a Senior Lecturer in Macroeconomics and I serve as the Economics and Finance Departmental Director for Postgradaute Research at Portsmouth Business School. I also hold the role of PhD Programme Lead for the Centre for Innovative and Sustainable Finance. I have over a decade of experience teaching economics and related modules, across the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. My main research focuses on how economic and financial relationships change under alternative market conditions, especially in the wake of shocks.
