I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Texas A&M University, specializing in applied macroeconomics, time series (classical and Bayesian) econometrics, and forecasting.

My current research focuses on identifying monetary policy shocks, monetary policy communication, uncertainty, and their macroeconomic implications. I also work on model selection and evaluation tools in the context of time variation. I have a particular interest in predictive density evaluations.

I am the President of the Society for Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics, a Board Member of the Armenian Economic Association, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research. I also serve as an Associate Department Head at the Department of Economics.

I recently taught ECMT 475, Economic Forecasting & ECMT 638, Applied Time Series Econometrics. I am teaching  ECMT 674 in the Spring of 2024.
