About Debmallya Chanda

I am currently a Ph.D. student and research fellow at the Università Cattolica del Sacre Cuore in Milan. I hold this position at the Complexity Lab in Economics(CLE) at the Department of Economics and Finance. Presently, I am working on one of the projects under the Economic Policy in Complex Environments (EPOC) funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions in Horizon 2020. Monetary policy analysis and study of financial stability of the central bank digital currencies are the primary objective of the project. Role of financial institutions and liquidity instruments on the effectiveness of different central bank policy measures will also be studied. Before joining the Ph.D, I was a research assistant at Science Po, Paris for a brief period. I completed masters from Université Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne in September, 2020 where I worked on unsecured and secured credit driven self-fulfilling credit cycles in the US economy. I come from a background in Physics as I did my Masters in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) and Bachelors from St. Xavier's College Kolkata (former affiliation under University of Calcutta).
