Hi, I am David! 

I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Aston Business School (Birmingham, UK). I hold a PhD in Finance from the University of Oxford.
My research is focused on Continuous Time Finance, Real Options and Corporate Finance.


Before my PhD, I obtained a Master degree in Finance at U.Porto (1st of class) and worked as a macroeconomic and equity analyst for the Portuguese FEFSS fund (aum 20B Euros).

More recently, I worked for the European Central Bank  where I developed a data cleaning infrastructure for Recommendation ESRB/2020/08. This recommendation  compiles the set of fiscal policies applied in Europe to curb the economic effects of Covid-19.

Feel free to send me any question about my research or any other topic!
