As a researcher and educator at UNBC, I am enthusiastic about providing students with exceptional opportunities to excel in their academic pursuits and future careers. Currently, I supervise graduate students in the MSc B.A. (Finance) program and the MBA program. Additionally, I supervise students in the Bachelor of Commerce Honours program, undergraduate research experience (URE) program and undergraduate independent research initiatives.
Through these enriching programs, my students have the chance to deepen their comprehension of financial concepts while applying the analytical skills they’ve acquired. I am proud to mention that my students have received research funds from federal and provincial agencies, as well as the university. Furthermore, they have showcased their research accomplishments at various influential academic conferences.
For prospective students interested in joining the research team under my supervision, I welcome applicants with backgrounds in finance. Additionally, I am open to considering highly motivated individuals from diverse academic backgrounds, provided they demonstrate a strong and exceptional academic record. My goal is to foster a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment, where students from various fields can contribute their unique perspectives and skills to today’s dynamic world of finance.
