I am a professor at the Department of Finance at LSE. I am also a Fellow of the European Corporate Governance Institute, a Department Editor of Management Science, a council member of the Society for Financial Studies, a research fellow at CEPR, and an associate editor of The Economic Journal. I graduated with a PhD in economics from The University of Chicago in 2002.

My research lies at the intersection between corporate finance and organisational economics, with a particular focus on corporate governance. I am currently working on topics such as AI in organisations, biased promotions,  decentralised governance, and capital structure. I have also written (empirical and theoretical) papers on corporate boards, firm polarisation, biases and discrimination, blockchain governance, ownership and control structures, organisational design, knowledge and hierarchies, innovation and risk-taking incentives, corporate strategy, personnel economics, group decision-making, markets with adverse selection, and bank governance, amongst others.
