I am a computational economist employed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Economics at University College London (UCL). My main research interests are solving and estimating dynamic economic models. I have worked with models of intertemporal consumption and saving in relation to fertility behavior and children and labor supply and retirement.
