I am the Course Director of BSc Economics (with pathways) and a Senior Lecturer in Economics and Finance at LSBU. I joined LSBU in 2021 having previously worked as a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Essex for two years. I hold a PhD and MRes in Finance from the University of Essex, a MSc in Banking and Finance from the International Hellenic University and a BSc in Economics from University of Macedonia.

Finally, I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (D2, FHEA) and I have working experience in accounting and finance, as well as economic consulting.

My research examines explosive time series, macroprudential policy and market efficiency and I have experience in time series econometrics, financial modelling and quantitative analysis.
