I am an accomplished finance academic with over 20 years of global experience at leading universities across the UK, Australia, and Asia. A recipient of the prestigious ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award in business, economics, and law, I have built a reputation for impactful research on responsible finance, bank governance, climate action, and the digital transformation of financial systems—areas closely aligned with global priorities around sustainability, resilience, and inclusive growth.

My scholarly contributions include over 30 peer-reviewed publications in top-tier journals such as the Journal of Corporate Finance, Journal of Banking and Finance, European Accounting Review, British Accounting Review, and Journal of Business Finance and Accounting. My work has attracted over 4,000 citations (h-index 18) and secured approximately GBP 215K (A$ 415K) in competitive research funding.

In teaching and academic leadership, I have championed innovation, ethics, and student empowerment. As Director of the Master of Finance at Curtin University, I embedded digital and ethical dimensions into the curriculum while introducing future-focused courses like Fintech. At the University of Queensland, I enhanced student experience as Leader of the Master of Commerce by fostering a strong sense of belonging through student-led initiatives and collaborative events.

Guided by a philosophy that values critical thinking, mutual respect, and responsible action, I am committed to fostering inclusive learning environments, interdisciplinary collaborations, and partnerships that bridge academia, industry, and society. I believe finance, when practiced with intellectual rigor and ethical purpose, can be a transformative force for sustainable and equitable progress.
