Currently, I’m a professor of finance and the David J. Mastrocola Faculty Fellow at Boston College Carroll School of Management. From July 2009 to May 2017, I was an assistant professor of finance and business economics at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. I did my PhD at the University of Chicago, graduating in 2009, and my undergraduate at the University of Western Australia, in Perth. My research interests include Empirical Asset Pricing, Media, Behavioral Finance, Mutual Funds, Dividends, and Investor Psychology.
