Researcher biography

I am a Lecturer in Finance in the UQ Business School. My research area is empirical corporate finance with a focus on corporate governance, corporate innovation, institutional investors, and sustainable finance. I have published in finance journals including Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis and Journal of Corporate Finance. I am an adhoc reviewer for various finance journals, including Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Review of Finance, and Journal of Banking and Finance.

I have been an active member of the Faculty of Business, Law, and Economics (BEL) Low and Negligible Risk (LNR) Ethics Review Panel since 2021. I was also the UQ Business School Academic Staff Representative on the Health, Safety, and Wellness Committee for three years from 2021-2024.

Since joining UQ Business School in 2019, I have taught big courses in finance at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have co-supervised, and supervised, a number of honour students to successful completion, and am currently active in PhD supervision.

I started my academic career in 2018 as a Lecturer in Finance (full-time, continuing) at RMIT University, Melbourne after spending significant time in industry. I received my PhD in Finance from UNSW Business School in late December 2014.
