I am a PhD Candidate in Finance at the Geneva Finance Research Institute at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI), and have been a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York this year.
I am an applied financial economist with research interests in empirical corporate finance, household finance, and sustainable investing, with links to behavioral finance and impact investing. I work with large and novel datasets to analyze the interaction between financial markets and real-world challenges.
My thesis focuses on sustainable finance from multiple perspectives, spanning asset pricing, political economy, and investor behavior, demonstrating my broader interest in applying empirical methods to timely and relevant questions in finance.
