About me
I am an Assistant Professor of Finance (tenure track) in the Department of Economics and Finance at Toulouse Business School (TBS, France).
In October 2023, I earned my Ph.D. degree in Economics from CERGE-EI (a joint workplace of Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic). My Thesis focuses on political distortions in banking.
During 2021-2023, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Department of Banking and Finance at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), the Department of Accounting, Finance, and Insurance at KU Leuven (Belgium), and the Department of Economics at Princeton University (USA).
I am an applied financial economist. My research explores how banks and their corporate borrowers adapt to various types of (geo)political distortions (violent conflicts, sanctions, board interventions, unfair prudential regulation, etc.).
