Profile Summary

I am a PhD-level economist specialising in machine learning applications, energy & environmental economics, macroeconomic analysis, and financial markets. With several Q1 publications in the fields of energy, environment, and macro-finance, I bring a strong research background combined with advanced data modelling and quantitative analysis skills. My research experience covers a wide range of topics, including machine learning modelling for stock market prediction. High and persistent inflation analysis using ML and econometrics. Energy consumption, environmental impacts, and sustainability. Political and economic uncertainty modeling. Dynamic causal ML models (DML) and interpretability. Advanced panel data modelling for cross-country environmental studies. I have hands-on expertise with Python, econometrics, forecasting models, DML, Lasso, gradient boosting, random forest, LSTM, and various statistical and ML techniques widely used in academic and applied research. In addition to academic research, I work with organisations on policy analysis, economic forecasting, and developing data-driven models to support decision-making in energy, environment, and financial markets. My background also includes training in the CFA programme and experience in fundamental and quantitative analysis of stock markets. I am available for projects involving: Academic research and Q1/Q2 article development Econometric and machine learning modeling Data analysis, forecasting, and policy evaluation Editing, enhancing, or providing analytical support for research papers Energy and environmental impact assessment Financial market analysis and ML-driven forecasting If you need a research-orientated, detail-driven economist who can transform complex datasets into clear, insightful, and publication-ready results, I would be glad to collaborate with you.
