Since January 2024, I have been privileged to lead as the Director of Research and Research Training at the UWA Business School, guiding our efforts in developing and implementing cutting-edge research strategies and nurturing collaborative partnerships. My role is integral to shaping research strategies and directions, managing grants and ethics, and overseeing our doctoral programs to deliver benefits on a global scale. With the UWA Business School recognized as Australia's #4 business school by AFR BOSS in 2023, my aim is to further enrich its strong culture of collaborative research across four vital departments: accounting & finance, economics, management & organization, and marketing. This period marks the beginning of a journey to uphold and build upon our esteemed legacy of academic excellence and transformative impact.
My responsibilities also extend to serving on esteemed panels as an assessor for the Australian Research Council (ARC), University Grants Committee (Hong Kong), and Research Grants Council (Hong Kong). In addition, I have embraced the significant role of Deputy Editor of Accounting and Finance, the official journal of AFAANZ, since January 2024. I also regularly review for top-tier academic journals in my field such as the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Banking and Finance, and Journal of Corporate Finance.
Since beginning my tenure at the UWA Business School in 2019 as an Associate Professor of Finance, I have been recognized as an internationally acclaimed expert in finance. My research focuses on asset pricing, the dissemination of information, and the impacts of political uncertainty, leading to two significant publications in the Journal of Financial Economics (a premier international finance journal):
My research contributions have transcended academic boundaries, attracting attention from leading global news platforms such as the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch, and USA Today. Some of my work discussed in the WSJ includes:
I hold a PhD in Finance from the University of Queensland and have served on the faculties of both the University of Queensland and the University of Auckland, including as the Director of the UQ Bloomberg Lab. Prior to academia, I was an assistant vice president in the Risk Analytics Division at United Overseas Bank, Singapore, and a consultant for a fintech firm.
I am keenly interested in extending collaborations beyond academia, engaging with corporate, government bodies, professional organizations, and the consulting sector. My diverse experience and dedication to applying research for practical solutions position me uniquely to contribute to a wide range of projects and initiatives. I warmly invite entities interested in leveraging my expertise, as well as the diverse expertise of my colleagues in the School of Business, to contact me, as I look forward to exploring potential collaborations that drive mutual success and advance the field of accounting & finance, economics, management & organizations, and marketing.
