About Me

I received my PhD in Finance from the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University in June 2024. I am currently on the faculty at the Eller College of Management, University of Arizona. 

Research

 My most active research line studies the US military hegemony and it's role in driving international finance phenomena. Check out my papers: i) Pax Americana: Security, Stability, and the U.S. Exorbitant Privilege , ii) The Security Dividend: U.S. Military Power, Dollar Dominance, and Global Stability and iii)  Pax-Americana: US Military Power and Global Financial Cycle 

Another line of enquiry for me is the role of US Multinationals (MNCs) in driving global factor structures in bond, equities and currency markets.
