I completed Ph.D. in Finance from Monash University. I worked at the Swinburne University of Technology from 2017 to 2022 before joining the University of Newcastle in 2023. I am also the Deputy Head of School - Postgraduate Teaching & Learning and Director of International in the Newcastle Business School.

My primary research area centers around empirical asset pricing, with a specific focus on stocks. I conduct extensive research on multifactor asset pricing models, stock market anomalies, and the underlying behavioral and risk-based explanations for observed patterns in stock prices. I also explore diverse topics in finance such as funds management, default risk analysis, socially responsible investments, market reactions to corporate actions, banking, and capital market research.

Throughout my career, I have authored over 20 articles in highly regarded Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) A/A* ranked journals. These include high-quality publications such as the Journal of Banking and Finance, Critical Finance Review, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Pacific-Basin Finance Journal, International Review of Financial Analysis, and International Review of Finance.

In recognition of my research contributions, I have received external grants totaling over $300,000, and I have successfully supervised seven Ph.D. and Master by Research students to completion. Furthermore, my research has gained recognition beyond academic circles. My articles have been cited and referenced in various news and practitioner outlets, including the CFA Institute, ABC, The Guardian, Yahoo Finance, The Age, and more. I have also had the privilege of sharing my research findings and perspectives on financial and stock markets through appearances on radio and television. Some notable examples include ABC News Radio, AusBiz, and Channel Ten, among others.
