Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I graduated from the University of Melbourne with Ph.D. in Accounting in 2018.

My research area is in financial accounting. Specifically, I am interested in how capital market participants, such as investors, analysts, creditors, and managers interact and hence affect firms' information environment. I also serve as an Ad hoc reviewer for The Accounting Review, Management Science, Journal of Corporate Finance, and European Accounting Review.
