Welcome!
I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Oxford-Man Institute, University of Oxford.
My research interests are asset pricing, quantitative finance, financial econometrics, machine learning and explainable AI. I am positively open to the potential collaborative opportunities.
I received my PhD degree in Finance from the University of Glasgow in January 2025. My thesis focuses on asset pricing and portfolio choices using advanced machine learning methods.
