I am an Associate Professor at the School of Economics and Finance, Queen Mary University of London. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at the Warwick Business School, University of Warwick (that I joined in the Fall of 2014). I was awarded a Ph.D. by the Department of Finance at Bocconi University in Spring 2014. I have been a visiting economist at the Research Division of the Sveriges Riksbank and a visiting scholar at the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin in Texas, at the University "Ca' Foscari" of Venice in Italy, and at the Nova School of Business and Economics in Lisbon. My research interests span empirical asset pricing, Bayesian econometrics, and machine learning. I also have a keen interest in cryptocurrency markets.
