Biography

I am currently Professor of Econometrics at the School of Economics at the University of Nottingham, which I joined in 2017. Prior to that, I spent my career (being Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader and subsequently Professor of Financial Econometrics) at Cass Business School.

Research Summary

I work in the fields of econometric theory and statistics. Over the years, I have touched upon the following areas (listed in no particular order):

• large factor models;
• randomised tests;
• the change point problem;
• panel data;
• cointegration and aggregation;
• the random coefficient autoregressive model;
• predicting mortality rates.
