Labrini Zarpala

I am a Lecturer of Finance at Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.). 

I have held a Ph.D. with distinction from the Department of Banking and Financial Management (University of Piraeus, Greece) since October 2021. My research interests lie at the intersection of market design, finance, and disrupting technologies. My job market paper has gained a prize for its contribution to game-theoretical analysis from the journal Games, and I published it in Annals of Finance and Digital Finance.

In the last few years, I worked as a lecturer of finance at Oxford Brooks University and as a consulting researcher on E.U. projects. 

Before starting as a researcher and lecturer, I worked in the banking and consulting industry for 11 years.

In addition, I graduated in 2006 with an M.Sc. in Operations Management (University of Bath, U.K.) and in 2004 with a BSc. in Accounting and Finance (University of Macedonia, Greece). I speak Greek, English, and French fluently and took my first steps in Dutch. 

Lastly, I have been a professional swimmer for several years and adore traveling.
