Thank you for visiting my website!

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Finance at Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management. I earned my Ph.D. in Finance from the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden.

My research examines two sides of the same problem: how investors price risk and how firms manage their exposure to it. The link is that firms’ financial and operating decisions shape which exposures remain embedded in the securities investors hold. In asset pricing, I study how investor preferences and payoff characteristics determine the pricing of downside risk, and how limits to diversification affect which risks command a premium. In corporate finance, I examine how regulation, financial flexibility, governance, and competition shape firms’ risk management and the consequences of risk exposure.

I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market and will attend the FMA Annual Meeting in Tampa, October 14–17.
