Area of Interest: Financial Technology and Personal Finance
I am a researcher by training and an educator by passion, with 15 years of experience in the higher education sector and a robust background in managing projects. Currently serving as Senior Lecturer (tenure track) at Mid Sweden University and Digital Banking and Finance Project Manager at the Centre for Research on Economic Relations (CER), where my focus is on exploring how financial technology can be leveraged to enhance the personal finance landscape of households.
My research endeavors are characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon theories from finance, information technology, and cognitive sciences. I have published my studies in international peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Business Research, reviewed assignments for various journals, served as Associate Editor for the Financial Services Review (ISSN: 1057-0810), Vice President-International of Academy of Financial Services (USA), member of advisory board of (CER), a keynote speaker on FinTech at two international conferences. I have also chaired tracks at several international conferences, and received recognition along with research grants.
My research is primarily based on collaboration with leading financial institutions across various regions, including the Nordic countries, USA, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. I have carried out several initiatives in partnership with financial experts from prestigious banking institutions and international organizations. Through my projects, I aim to collaborate with entrepreneurs, researchers, government agencies, international organizations, and non-profit institutions to develop FinTech solutions that improve people's lives and enhance their opportunities for a better future.
I am open to collaboration and would be glad to discuss your ideas.
