Research Interests

My research interests are deeply rooted in the intersection of real estate, hospitality finance, and emerging technologies. Specifically, I focus on the valuation and financial performance of vacation rentals, leveraging cutting-edge econometric techniques such as panel data and time-series analysis to decode market dynamics. My work also extends to behavioral finance, exploring how psychological factors influence financial decisions within the hospitality industry. Additionally, I am intrigued by the potential of blockchain and fintech to revolutionize real estate transactions by enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency. This multidisciplinary approach not only reflects my extensive professional background in investment banking and real estate but also aligns with my commitment to advancing academic discourse in finance​​.
