As an Assistant Professor of Finance and Accounting, my research and teaching are rooted in the exploration of financial markets, asset valuation, corporate financial strategies, and accounting practices. I am particularly intrigued by how emerging financial instruments and market psychology influence asset prices and overall market dynamics. My research seeks to provide insights into the complex mechanisms that drive market efficiency and investor behavior. I explore how sentiments and technological advancements, such as cryptocurrencies, reshape traditional financial theories and practices. My work also delves into the intricacies of earnings management, examining how firms utilize financial reporting to influence perceptions and achieve strategic objectives.

In the classroom, I am dedicated to imparting a deep understanding of finance and accounting principles through courses such as Corporate Finance, Investment Management, Accounting for Managers, and Financial Statement Analysis & Reporting. My teaching philosophy emphasizes a practical, application-oriented approach, ensuring that students not only grasp theoretical concepts but also learn how to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios. I strive to cultivate a learning environment that encourages critical thinking, analytical problem-solving, and an appreciation for the interconnectedness of financial and accounting disciplines.

Beyond my academic responsibilities, I am committed to mentoring students, guiding them through the complexities of finance and accounting, and supporting their academic and professional growth. I also actively engage in interdisciplinary research collaborations, aiming to contribute to the broader academic community with innovative and impactful research.
