Introduction

After a Bachelor degree in Economics at the University of Namur and a Research Master jointly organized by the University of Warsaw and the Université Catholique de Louvain, I started my PhD in 2011 under the supervision of Romain Houssa. I allocate my time between Research and Teaching Assistant. My research focuses on fiscal and monetary policies, macroeconomic imbalances and their role in the determination of the Term Structure of Interest Rates for both Advanced and Emerging economies.

Additionally, I tutor around 10 students per year for the completion of their Master thesis.
