My research lies at the intersection of corporate finance, financial reporting, and sustainability. My publications and projects have focused on corporate accountability towards climate change, biodiversity, corporate lobby, digital currency, and SME finance. I have published in top international journals including Journal of Business Ethics, International Review of Financial Analysis, Corporate Governance: An International Review and The International Journal of Accounting. My recent funded projects commissioned by the National Science Foundation (USA), Natural Environment Research Council, UKRI, Department of Business Strategy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), UK government, and London Borough of Hounslow emphasise on recovering green economy. My work has been featured on BBC Asian Network, UK Parliament website and CFA Digest.
