Bio

I am a Senior Lecturer (tentured Assistant Professor) of Accounting at UNSW Business School. Before I joined UNSW in 2018, I obtained my PhD in Accounting and Bachelor of Commerce (Honours Class I & University Medal) at University of Sydney.

My research examines the determinants, measurements, and market implications of corporate disclosures of risk-relevant information. I make extensive use of machine learning techniques to analyze how managers acquire risk information from their interactions with informed market participants and incorporate such information into their risk disclosures. My papers have appeared in top journals such as The Accounting Review, Review of Accounting Studies and Journal of Business Finance and Accounting.Â
