Monica DiLeo is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Hertie School, where she works on KnowLegPo, a joint DFG-ANR funded research project led by Benjamin Braun (Max Planck) and Matthias Thiemann (Sciences Po) devoted to examining how central banks have navigated policymaking in an increasingly contested and politicized context. Beyond this, her research has focused on how central banks have dealt with the political and institutional challenges of responding to climate change across North American, European, and East Asian contexts. Monica holds a PhD in Political Economy from the University of Queensland (2024) and a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University (2016). Prior to beginning her PhD, she worked as a Senior Analyst on the Applied Critical Thinking Function at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
