Welcome to my webpage! I am currently an assistant professor of accountancy at the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame.
I am also currently a visiting scholar at the Supervisory Policy and Risk Analysis group in the Supervision and Regulation division at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. For the past few years, Allison Nicoletti and I have co-organized a one day conference for junior faculty to present working papers that may be of interest to both the regulatory and academic communities. Agendas for prior years' conferences can be found through the following links: 2019 agenda, 2020 agenda, 2021 agenda, 2022 agenda, 2023 agenda, 2024 agenda, and 2025 agenda. Plans for the 2026 conference are already in the works.
