My research interests primarily focus on Corporate Finance, Corporate Governance and the Efficiency and Performance of Financial Institutions. I am particularly interested in examining the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and financial performance, cost of capital, financial risk and institutional sustainability. My research also encompasses banking efficiency, Islamic financial institutions, financial markets, capital structure decisions, and financial regulations and reforms. More recently, I am interested in exploring the implications of digital transformation, financial technologies and emerging economic challenges for corporate financial performance, risk management and financial stability. I aim to undertake empirical and interdisciplinary research that contributes to the advancement of financial knowledge, institutional effectiveness and evidence-based policy and managerial decision making.
