Biography
I received my Ph.D. in 2013 from Duke University and taught at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas in Austin, and at the School of Business at the University of Miami (FL) before starting at Carlson in 2018. My teaching is focused on four broad areas: Core Finance, Options and Derivatives, Behavioral Finance, and Programming and Econometrics for Finance. My research has focused on Household Finance issues, specifically relating to mortgage choice, cultures impact on investment choices and asset prices, and how political cycles affect asset prices.
