About Me

I am a visiting professor of accounting at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. 

My research interests lie at the intersection of accounting and political economy, as well as in regulation and enforcement. I have presented my work at leading universities and academic conferences across accounting, finance, and political economics, and my papers have been nominated for and won multiple competitive awards. 

My papers have been published in leading accounting journals: the Journal of Accounting and Economics, the Journal of Accounting Research, The Accounting Review, and Contemporary Accounting Research. My research has been cited by the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, SF Gate, Thompson Reuters, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Dow Jones Market Watch, Congressional Research Service, Law360, Yahoo! Finance, and L’Echo. I am also a business news contributor on WILS 1320 News Radio.

I received my doctorate from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor's in Business (with First-Class Honours) from the University of Technology, Sydney.

Before my doctoral studies, I worked at Ernst & Young LLP in Sydney, Australia. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, drinking coffee, and playing golf (poorly).
