Thanks for stopping by my page!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Finance at Binghamton University’s School of Management and am currently on the 2026–2027 academic job market. My research examines how policy, technology, and social conditions affect financial behavior and financial markets.
My job-market paper, “Digitalizing a State Monopoly: Lottery Demand and Municipal Finance,” studies how the digitization of a state-run lottery affects consumer demand and municipal credit markets. My paper “Biodiversity Risk in the Corporate Bond Market”, with Cihan Uzmanoglu, has been accepted at Management Science, and my broader research includes work on biodiversity risk, public finance, and the financial consequences of online gambling.
My research has been presented at the Financial Management Association, Global Finance Conference, and Southwestern Finance Association, and has received several research awards and recognitions.
At Binghamton, I have taught Financial Management and Corporate Finance in both in-person and asynchronous formats.
