I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), which I joined in 2025. My research sits at the intersection of finance and macroeconomics, with particular focus on exchange rates, monetary policy transmission, and international capital flows.

Previously, I was a Senior Research Economist in the Monetary Department at the Bank of Israel (2007–2025) and a Visiting Scholar at The Wharton School (2022–2024) sponsored by Itay Goldstein. I completed my PhD in Finance at Tel-Aviv University in 2022, and I am a member of the Macro Finance Society.

My work has appeared in leading journals, including Management Science, Journal of International Economics, and Review of Asset Pricing Studies.
