ABOUT ME

I am an Assistant Professor at the Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria (Canada) and a Visiting fellow at Essex Business School at the University of Essex (UK). I've previously held faculty positions at the University of Essex and the University of Bristol.

Research

My research interests have predominantly focused on the field of international finance, focusing on issues such as the forward premium anomaly and the purchasing power parity puzzle. Recent and ongoing work includes modelling and forecasting FX implied volatility, examination of the determinants of project finance (syndicated) loans, exchange rate exposure, exchange rate pass through, and futures markets efficiency.

Teaching

I have taught a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses. These have included Priciples of Finance, Management Finance, and International Finance. I have also successfully co-supervised 7 PhD students to date.
