I am an Associate Professor (tenure track) in Finance at LUT Business School, specialising in empirical asset pricing, valuation, market microstructure, fintech, and international finance. Since 2011, I have managed the Master’s program in Strategic Finance and Analytics since 2011, while also gaining experience at international educational institutions. My research focuses on modelling economic factors in global context, and I am dedicated to advancing strategic finance through research and teaching. In addition to academic interests, I enjoy mind games and cognitive assessments for critical thinking that reflect my appreciation for challenge and exploration. Moving forward, I aim to integrate AI into financial decision-making and prepare future leaders for the complexities of global finance.
