PhD in Finance, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, and university lecturer helping clients with financial analysis, market research, quantitative analysis, and evidence-based financial research.
I combine rigorous academic research with practical financial and data analysis. I help clients investigate markets, companies, investment themes, financial datasets, regulatory developments, and complex research questions — then turn the evidence into clear, decision-useful results.

I work with Python, R, Stata, SPSS, and Excel, with experience in financial time-series analysis, regression and econometric modelling, robustness testing, bootstrap inference, connectedness analysis, machine learning, research validation, and publication-quality visualization.
My peer-reviewed research has appeared in Finance Research Letters, Financial Innovation, and Mineral Economics, covering financial markets, portfolio and risk implications, sustainable finance, energy markets, carbon markets, digital assets, and green minerals.
My recent research also includes financial reporting and sustainability-assurance measurement, including development and validation of a claim-level classification framework using human-coded reference data, out-of-fold validation, measurement-validity assessment, and statistical inference.
I also support ongoing finance-content and market research, where I identify timely financial and business developments, verify figures and primary sources, evaluate their market significance, and translate complex information into concise, audience-friendly insights.
Whether you need financial analysis, investment/market research, quantitative modelling, statistical analysis, research validation, or publication-quality financial research, I focus on accurate sources, transparent methodology, and clear communication.
