I am currently working in the credit risk methodology team of UBS as a specialist for climate change risk. As such, I am investigating approaches to quantify and incorporate climate-related risks in the banks’ models.
In addition to the above, I am also fascinated by recent developments in AI and its applications to macroeconomic forecasting and issues in international and environmental economics.
