I’m an applied macroeconomist with a passion for harnessing the power of data analytics. My research journey is rooted in the intriguing intersection of applied macroeconomics, financial economics, and applied econometrics. Through years of dedicated exploration, I’ve cultivated a portfolio of published works spanning the domains of forecasting, urban and real estate economics, energy economics, risk management, central banking, and monetary economics. See the One Page Short CV and Full CV for further information. This web page is infrequently updated. For the research papers, IDEAS, EconPapers, and Google Scholar pages are more frequently updated and may even have a more comprehensive coverage. There are also ResearchGate, LinkedIn, SSRN, and ACADEMIA pages.

The teaching pages are available here. See also my github page.
