I am a Professor of Finance and Deputy Dean of Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City St George’s (CSG). I serve as a staff member of the Council of City St George’s, University of London (which is the governing body of the institution). I also chair the University’s Shadow Leadership Board and regularly attend the University Senior Leadership Team meeting.
Within Bayes, my remit as Deputy Dean covers programmes and teaching.
I conduct research in empirical finance and tend to focus on the fields of market microstructure, empirical asset pricing and international finance. I hold a PhD from the LSE and have previously held positions at the LSE, the University of Bristol and the University of Warwick. I have also spent considerable time consulting for and working in industry for financial institutions (e.g. Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Liberum) and regulators and government departments (e.g. the Bank of England, the FCA, ESMA and the UK Government). I have published widely in leading finance and economics journals and am an experienced commentator and advisor on financial market developments and events.
I am an award-winning teacher of finance, at all levels from PhD to undergraduate.
