Welcome to my website!

Who am I?

My name is Menelaos Tasiou, and I am a Senior Lecturer in Finance at the Surrey Business School. Prior to my current role, I held positions at the University of Portsmouth, where I served as Events Lead at its Centre for Sustainable and Innovative Finance. My educational background includes a BSc in Economics from the University of Crete (Greece), an MSc in Banking & Finance from Surrey Business School, and a PhD in Economics & Finance from Portsmouth Business School.

What do I do?

In terms of my teaching, I deliver lectures and workshops for modules such as Portfolio Management and Sustainability in Finance.

My research lies in the intersection of Finance, Decision Analysis and Management Science and revolves around quantitative modelling of decision-making, and empirical corporate finance and banking applications. My interests are in the areas of corporate finance, financial institutions, and sustainable finance. These deal with various topics such as firm efficiency, performance and risk; credit scoring and ESG analytics modelling; corporate governance and behaviours arising from collective norms and cultural traits.
