I manage the Financial Stability Research Office of the Central Bank of Malta, and am an External Research Fellow at the Centre for Finance, Credit and Macroeconomics. I have a PhD in economics from the University of Nottingham, with a thesis titled Essays on household loan-to-value macroprudential policy.

My primary research interests are the identification of cyclical risks using early warning models, the use of mortgage loan-to-value ratio as a macroprudential policy tool, DSGE modelling and household saving behaviour. My secondary research interests are forecasting and numerical solutions of representative and heterogeneous agent models.
