I joined 麻豆传媒 in October 2020 as a Senior Lecturer in Finance. I hold various academic positions at the University of Glasgow, University of Bath, and University College London (UCL). I formerly served as a Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Finance at Bournemouth University and, before that, as Assistant Professor of Banking and Finance at the University of Sussex.

My research has been published in a number of highly-ranked academic journals (Journal of Banking and Finance; Journal of Financial Stability; Journal of Financial Services Research; Financial Markets, Institutions & Instruments; Business Strategy and the Environment; Economics Letters; European Journal of Finance, etc.). I have presented my research in numerous prestigious conferences and other high-impact events. In this context, I have received several awards and distinctions.
