I am an Assistant Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Finance at the University of Melbourne and a Research Affiliate at IZA@LISER.
My research studies bias in evaluation and governance systems, with a focus on gender, corporate boards, and academic careers. A common theme across my work is how decisions by a small number of gatekeepers can shape outcomes across an entire system, and how institutions can design policies that reduce these distortions.
