Curriculum Vitae
Areas of Expertise
  • Biography
    I am an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, Eli Broad College of Business, focusing on empirical accounting research, with a keen interest in managers’ and firms’ strategic disclosure and reporting decisions, and how information biases affect decision-making. I am dedicated to leveraging modern data science techniques, such as NLP and Machine Learning, and alternative datasets to gain deeper insights into firm behavior and decision-making processes. Overall, my work aims at integrating recent technological advances with traditional accounting research, to address relevant and contemporary questions related to firms and their information environment.
