About

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow and invited lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. My research interests are the rise and decline of international currencies and central banking history. The first part of my current work focuses on the decline of sterling after WWII. The second part investigates banking crisis and central banking policies in France and Switzerland in the 19th and 20th century. I hold a PhD in International Economics and History from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva.
