Doctoral Researcher in Economics, Shock Transmission, Financial Contagion, High-Dimensional Data, TS, New Methodologies

Profile Summary

I am a doctoral researcher in Economics at the University of Minho, specializing in financial shock transmission, behavioral market dynamics, and high-dimensional complex data. My work sits at the intersection of empirical finance, macro-financial analysis, and novel methodological development — with a focus on how shocks originate, propagate, and surface as hidden risk across financial systems. My published research includes working papers on multiscale contagion in Brazilian equities using Airy wavelets and option-implied stress signals, and a high-dimensional panel study on how the Strait of Hormuz disruption transmits through helium supply into semiconductor manufacturing and AI compute infrastructure — published on SSRN ahead of mainstream coverage of this transmission chain. I am the founder of ShockBridge Pulse, a macro transmission intelligence platform that turns geopolitical shocks, policy events, liquidity stress, and earnings surprises into structured decision-ready intelligence for investors, advisors, and serious market operators. My technical toolkit includes Python, high-dimensional panel data methods, wavelet analysis, time series econometrics, derivatives-implied stress modelling, and AI-assisted research acceleration. I write with precision across both academic and professional registers — from peer-reviewed working papers to institutional briefings and policy reports. I work with financial institutions, asset managers, fintechs, technology companies with supply chain exposure, academic researchers, and institutions that need PhD-level economic analysis without a full-time research team. Services I offer through this platform include custom Analyst Reports, research co-authorship, literature reviews, methodology consulting, working paper development, and institutional research briefings.
