Though my background is in chemical engineering, I transitioned to economics for my Master's degree and am now working on a project in financial complex systems at the University of Namur and Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. My research focuses on applying network theory to the study of interbank markets. Specifically, I analyze the effects of network topology on systemic risk and financial contagion. I am currently working on a dynamic, endogenous network model of the interbank market.

I look forward to collaborating and discussing with people of different academic backgrounds at the SFI this summer.
