Policy research portfolio
When financial systems come under pressure, policy is forced to adapt.
Focused on how institutions respond when financial systems come under strain across monetary systems, capital flows and technological change.
Current focus
- • Monetary policy and central banking operations
- • Financial stability and capital flow dynamics
- • Payments systems and regulatory design
- • Trade, energy and geoeconomic risks
Active research note
Currently investigating AI-sector capital flow dynamics and the systemic risk implications of programmable monetary systems.
About
I am a Master’s student in International Political Economy at King’s College London. Over time, my work has come to revolve around a few recurring questions: how financial systems transmit risk, how that risk turns into instability and how governments respond when it does.
My focus sits at the intersection of financial systems and policy frameworks, particularly when established tools begin to lose their grip. What matters in these moments is not just what policies exist but how they are adapted in practice. That includes changes in regulation, shifts in monetary strategy and the quiet reworking of institutions as markets and technology move faster than expected.
I previously worked as a researcher at King’s Think Tank, where I looked at how programmable central bank digital currencies could affect capital flows and exchange rate dynamics. I now serve as Chief Data Officer at the Geoeconomic Strategy Unit. My work there centres on building a country-level analytical framework that brings together macroeconomic, political and financial data into a single model. The role cuts across functions. It involves designing the structure of the model itself, working closely with technical teams on implementation and engaging with the commercial side to ensure the output is both credible and usable.
Across both strands of my work, the underlying interest is the same. Economic systems rarely adjust smoothly. They come under pressure, adapt unevenly and reveal their limits in the process. Understanding those moments and what they tell us about the design of policy and institutions is what drives my research.
Research themes
Core areas of interest
Monetary systems
Monetary policy, central banking, capital mobility, financial repression and the changing architecture of digital money.
Financial stability
Asset-price excess, capital concentration, systemic fragility and the policy implications of rapid technological shifts in markets.
Trade and geoeconomics
Energy markets, shipping, insurance, sanctions risk and the political economy of global trade disruption.
Writing
Articles and research

The writing archive is being built
This section is ready to house published essays, research commentary and longer-form policy writing. The first pieces are currently being developed and can be published here as soon as they are ready.
Draft in progress · Monetary Policy
The Role of Programmable CBDCs in Shaping Capital Flows and Exchange Rate Dynamics
A quantitative and policy-oriented analysis of how programmable central bank digital currencies could reshape capital mobility, exchange rate dynamics and state capacity.
Research in progress · Financial Stability
Wired for Instability? An Empirical Stress Test of AI-Sector Capital Flows and Bubble Risk
An empirical investigation into whether capital allocation into AI-intensive sectors is drifting away from fundamentals, and what that may imply for systemic risk.
Projects
Research and analytical work
AI Capital Allocation & Bubble Risk
A data-driven research project examining valuation divergence, capital concentration and volatility clustering in AI-linked sectors through a financial stability lens.
CBDCs, Capital Controls and Monetary Order
Research exploring whether programmable monetary systems can reintroduce embedded forms of capital control within liberalised financial regimes.
Energy, Trade and Strategic Risk
Work focused on how insurance, shipping, energy markets and geopolitical disruption shape the resilience of global trade and policy response.
