Hello and Welcome to my Research Page
I am Senior Lecturer in the College of Business in Dublin Institute of Technology.
My research interests focus on risk management and hedging, asset pricing, and volatility modelling in financial and commodity markets with a focus on energy. I am also interested in research questions that examine the interaction of financial and non financial data particularly in terms of the impact of finance on the broader economy and society as well as experiential learning and management dynamics.
I currently review for a number of journals including The European Journal of Finance, Energy Economics and the Financial Review and I have published work in journals including the International Journal of Finance and Economics, The Journal of Futures Markets, The European Journal of Finance, Energy Economics and the Energy Journal.
Current PhD students are focusing on foreign exchange risk management and the impact of renewable energy on economic growth.
My published papers are listed below. Please email me if you have any queries on the work or if you are interested in pursuing a PhD in any related area.
