I received my PhD titled “An investigation of the behaviour of financial markets using agent-based computational models” from Newcastle University before I went to Queen Mary University in London. I joined the University of York in 2014, first as a Lecturer until 2016, then as Senior Lecturer until 2022 and from October 2022 as Reader in Finance.
I am a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy and a Certified Management and Business Educator. My teaching and research focus is on Fintech, cryptocurrency trading and the role of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in financial markets. I supervise PhD students researching different areas of worldwide financial and cryptocurrency markets.
I am an editorial member of the Review of Behavioral Finance, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Journal of Computer Science Research, and Artificial Intelligence Advances.
