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 focuses on debt markets, with interests in gambling, household finance, public finance, and environmental risk.
My job-market paper, “Betting on Public Money: Online Lotteries and Municipal Bond Pricing” 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 for publication in Management Science.
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.
