I'm currently Professor of Finance at Leeds University Business School, University of Leeds. I joined Leeds in August 2018 as an Associate Professor of Accounting and Finance. Prior to that, I've worked as a Lecturer of Finance at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University. In 2014, I was awarded PhD in Finance from the University of Bristol where I have also worked as a teaching assistant. 

My research interests include mainly empirical corporate finance and corporate governance, such as executive compensation, board of directors, mergers and acquisitions, and dividend policies. I am also interested in corporate innovation, default risk, banking, corporate social responsibility and various aspects of behavioral finance (in particular the role of managerial overconfidence and gender diversity).
