Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Rice University. I study corporate finance, including topics related to the managerial labor market (including compensation, mobility and human capital), shareholder voting, and capital budgeting, among others.
I have a PhD in Finance from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and a BA in Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Sociology (PPES) from Trinity College Dublin.
