I am associate professor, lecture and researcher at Corvinus University of Budapest, with over two decades of experience teaching various finance-related subjects, including corporate finance, financial calculations, asset pricing, and portfolio management. Throughout my academic career, I have guided numerous students into the complex world of financial markets and investments. In my previous work, I focused on innovation, startup financing, and venture capital investments, which were also the topics of my professional publications.
In recent years, my research has pivoted towards social investments, focusing on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing and biodiversity finance. This shift reflects my commitment to exploring sustainable investment strategies that promote ecological balance while delivering financial returns. I have contributed to various publications in these areas and have been involved in several significant projects aimed at enhancing the understanding of responsible investment practices.
My academic journey began with a strong foundation in finance, which has evolved into a multifaceted exploration of how financial principles can be applied to address pressing global challenges. I strive to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical applications, ensuring that my students are well-prepared for the complexities of the financial world.
