I am an Associate Professor of Financial Technology and Information Systems at Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS), The University of Manchester. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at Loughborough University, as well as a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, San Diego.
Through my research, teaching, and business engagement, I address some of the most pressing challenges posed by digital technologies in business and society.
My research agenda focuses on three areas: how to prevent artificial intelligence (AI) from creating data-driven market power; how firms can develop sustainable AI strategies; how financial technology (fintech) firms strategize to achieve ethical missions.
I adopt an interdisciplinary lens at the intersection of Information Systems and Political Economy, examining not only the technical aspects of digital innovations but also their business, societal, political, and environmental implications.
I have published my work in Information Systems Journal and Review of International Political Economy, among other scholarly journals.
My research ethos is to produce rigorous empirical and theoretical work that leverages insights from Political Economy to advance the sociotechnical perspective in Information Systems. Specifically, I focus on the power relations and the dynamics of institutional construction shaping the design and use of digital innovations, as well as their potential to drive positive societal and environmental change.
I am committed to knowledge mobilization between academia and the business community, using my research to promote responsible, sustainable, and ethical applications of fintech and AI for the benefit of both business and society. I serve on the Fintech Committee at Pro-Manchester and am a member of the UK Fintech Academic Network at Innovate Finance.
I am an experienced and enthusiastic educator. I am the Programme Director of the MSc in Digital Transformation at The University of Manchester, where I also teach Fundamentals of Information Systems. My teaching philosophy prioritizes pedagogical innovation, research-led teaching, and fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
