I received my PhD in Finance from McMaster University in 2025. Prior to pursuing my doctorate, I created a quantitative commodities hedge fund and worked at National Bank Financial in Mergers and Acquisitions. I hold advanced degrees from the University of Michigan (Master of Arts in Business Administration) and the University of Toronto (Master of Financial Economics).
I have research interests that broadly lie in asset pricing with an emphasis on derivatives, hedge funds, investor behavior and return predictability. My current research agenda explores to what extent we can gain new insights into empirical asset pricing from studying hedge fund returns. One of the main goals of this work is to document the importance of weak latent factors in asset returns.
