Personal profile

Overview

I conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Information Systems and Political Economy. The overarching question of my research is: how can business and politics be forces for good?

I study how business and governmental organizations can use innovative instruments and technologies in a responsible, ethical, and sustainable manner.

Empirically, my studies focus on the financial services industry, financial technology (fintech) firms, the digital technology sector, and state actors.

My current research projects explore:

  • Ethical fintech and financial inclusion.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) in financial markets.
  • The sustainability of data-driven technologies.

In my previous work, I am known for having researched the irresponsible and unethical use of financial innovations by governments.
