I am Pedro Monteiro, Ph.D., CFA, an Assistant Professor of Finance in the Department of Finance and Economics at the Kania School of Management at The University of Scranton, Pennsylvania. I received both my Ph.D. in Finance and my Master of Science in Finance from Florida Atlantic University, and I earned my Bachelor's in Business from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Before pursuing my Ph.D., I worked in the financial sector, serving in various roles, including fixed income analyst, derivatives structurer, and private wealth manager. I have been a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder since 2018.

My teaching expertise spans a diverse range of courses, including Derivative Securities, Advanced Finance, Principles of Financial Management, Financial Institutions, and Advanced Managerial Finance, catering to both undergraduate and graduate students. I was honored with the 2021 Excellence in Ph.D. Student Teaching Award at the College of Business at Florida Atlantic University.
