Research Interests:

My research interest is in the area of Macroeconomics and Macro-Finance.  On the empirical side, I am proficient in Bayesian-based time series analysis and panel data analysis. I work on Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models incorporating financial frictions from a theoretical perspective.

My recent interest includes using probabilistic machine-learning algorithms to answer pressing questions of Macro-Finance, including the impact of climate change and its potential mitigation.
