About
Welcome! I am a first-year finance PhD student at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
I have always believed that anything one learns never goes to waste. The first extracurricular activity I got involved in was quizzing because it showed that any obscure detail one learns can be useful; that was riveting!
My research aims to answer three questions:
How does trading bring information to the market? A strong focus on the mechanics and how trading works in practice to facilitate the informativeness of prices.
To what extent to the design and rules of the marketplace affect the information that is present? Does this depend on the underlying assets being traded?
How is this information used outside of markets? To what extent does finance and the financialization of services benefit society?
These questions connect different areas of finance, and my work tackles them from an asset pricing perspective. Presently, I am interested in exploring the explosive growth of prediction markets as they provide an ideal setting to evaluate the above questions.
I was born in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and spent the first eighteen years of my life there. It is a fascinating and vibrant city I’m happy to call home.
