CV

Introduction

I'm (Tenured) Associate Professor in Finance, Risk and Banking (FRB) at Nottingham University Business School (NUBS).

Currnetly, I am serving as the leader of Sustainable Finance Cluster in the FRB department at NUBS. 

Prior to joining NUBS, I had worked for Loughborough University as a Lecturer in Finance and National University of Singapore as a Research Fellow.

My research interests include Sustainable Finance and Household Finance based on Portfolio Theory, Asset Pricing, Risk Management, and Incomplete Markets.

Further, I have applied my research expertise to the areas of FinTech and InsurTech for the study of Pension, Insurance, and Retirement.

I'm also familiar with the field of Financial Engineering/Mathematical Finance.
