Researcher biography

I am a senior lecturer in finance at UQ Business School. My research focuses on empirical corporate finance with a recent interest in sustainable finance. I have published in international peer-reviewed finance journals including Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Corporate Finance, Journal of Banking and Finance, Journal of Financial Markets, and Financial Management. I have so far received one Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery research grant and several AFAANZ research grants. I am currently an associate editor at International Review of Financial Analysis and was a guest editor for Pacific-Basin Finance Journal.

I am available for supervising research students. I am particularly proud that some of my former PhD students had their first placements at some UK and Australian universities. Also, all of my former honours students have so far received their first-class honours, some awarded the University Medals.
