I am a Reader in Economics at SOAS University of London. My research interests lie in financial macroeconomics, climate finance, ecological macroeconomics, climate-aligned development, inequality and the political economy of the green transition. My work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals, such as the Cambridge Journal of Economics, Ecological Economics, Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, the Journal of Financial Stability, Nature Climate Change and New Political Economy. I have acted as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator in several projects about 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 the Research & Knowledge Exchange Convenor of the SOAS Economics Department, 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.
