In God we trust; all others must bring their data.
I am an economist, author, and professor with a special interest in behavioral finance, real estate finance, and financial markets. My current position is Clinical Associate Professor at the College of Science at the University of North Texas. I was previously the Director of the Research Department at Borsa Istanbul (Istanbul Stock Exchange), where I conducted several research and policy-oriented analyses on investor behavior. Previously, I worked at Rockford University, the University of Texas at Dallas, and Texas A&M, Commerce. I published various scholarly articles and three books. My research integrates perspectives from behavioral finance and financial markets, employing a diverse set of methodologies including data analysis and natural experiments. I have a background in data collection, statistical/quantitative analysis, machine learning, and econometric modeling with MATLAB, Python, SPSS, and Excel. I am very enthusiastic about FinTech, machine learning, and blockchain technology.
