Starting in Fall 2022, I joined the College of Business at the University of Rhode Island as an Assistant Professor of Finance.

My research focuses on empirical asset pricing, institutional investors, and mutual funds, with a recent emphasis on exploring market frictions and trading behavior of mutual fund managers. I have published my work in various prestigious academic journals, including the Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Banking & Finance, Journal of Empirical Finance, Journal of Financial Research, Financial Review, and Journal of Business Research.

At present, I am teaching a diverse range of courses at the University of Rhode Island, including Fintech, Introduction to Financial Data Analytics, and Empirical Asset Pricing (Ph.D.-level). In my Introduction to Financial Data Analytics course, I am equipping my undergraduates with the essential skills to analyze, visualize, and interpret big financial data using Python, a widely used programming language. By using real-time data from various assets, my students can create portfolios, track their performance, and apply the Fama and French factor models to their analysis.

​In the past, I have taught courses on corporate finance, financial management, financial statement analysis, mutual fund management, investments, and econometrics at both undergraduate and graduate levels. As the finance industry undergoes a significant transformation, it is crucial to equip our students with practical skills that will enable them to succeed in the dynamic world of finance.
