I am Associate Professor in Finance and Accounting at the University of Twente (the Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences (BMS), Financial Engineering Group).
My background is in economics (Diplom, University of Bonn), philosophy (PhD) and sociology (Habilitation). I was a researcher and a lecturer at the University of Leicester (UK), University of Constance (Germany), Zeppelin University (Germany) and University of Basel (Switzerland). I also gathered practical experience as a portfolio manager and financial analyst at the Alliance Global Investors (former DIT, Dresdner Bank), in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.
My empirical research concerns with the intersections of technologies, data, and social relations across two domains: (I) financial markets (valuation, communication between investors and companies, the role of financial intermediaries etc.) and (II) the public sector accounting (open data initiatives, digitalization, and risk communication). Additionally, I engage in theoretical research focusing on (III) expectations, unawareness, uncertainty, probability and sense-making in economics and finance.
Notably, my research focus has been on modeling and, more recently, AI technologies in finance, exploring their impact on investment decisions, influence on markets and society, and the associated ethical considerations. Within this domain, I have made contributions to social studies of finance, philosophy of science, and the sociology of modeling. Recently, I have delved into the ethical dimensions of AI (including ethics of systemic risks) and the roles of biodiversity modeling in finance.
I have extensive teaching experience in these fields, offering courses such as 'On the Limits of Financial Modeling and Algorithmic Trading' (executives), 'Introduction to the Social Studies of Finance' (PhD), 'AI Ethics in Finance' (masters), 'Corporate Finance' (bachelors and masters), 'Business Valuation and Corporate Governance' (masters), 'Foundations of Financial Analysis and Investment' (masters), 'Behavioral Finance' (masters and bachelors), 'Financial and Management Accounting' (masters and bachelors), 'Capital Market Theory' (masters) and 'Economic Sociology' (bachelors).
A number of grants and visiting fellowships were instrumental in shaping my academic path: the ESRC “Re-building macroeconomics” network (Finance Hub Leader), National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR), London; “Risk reporting for a safe and resilient society: A comparative study of the UK and the Netherlands” (CI), the VU Amsterdam and the University of Twente collaboration funding scheme; “Accounting for trust in governmental reporting” (PI), funding scheme of BAFA (British Accounting and Finance Association) and ACCA; the EPSRC/ESRC “Communication of uncertainties about company’s future to capital markets” (PI); “Shaping local government financial reporting: starting from the citizens” (CI), University of Leicester; the ERC “Evaluation Practices in Financial Markets” (CI), University of Edinburgh; research fellowships at Research Collegium Helveticum-Basel/the Centre for Religion, Economy and Politics (ZRWP), University of Basel; at the Trends and Tensions in Intellectual Integration (TINT) Group, Department of Social and Moral Philosophy, University of Helsinki, Finland, and at the Center of Excellence “Cultural Foundations of Integration”, Institute for Advanced Study, University of Constance, Germany.
From January 2024, I will work on the new project 'Digital Finance - Reaching New Frontiers' (Horizon Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Industrial Doctoral Network). In this network, I will collaborate as a member of the leading UT consortium, supervising Ph.D. students' research on Explainable and Fair AI and Sustainability of Digital Finance.

My research has been very interdisciplinary bringing together finance and accounting, behavioural sciences, Science and Technology Studies (STS), organization studies and economic sociology.
My empirical research concerns with the intersections of technologies, data, and social relations across two domains: (I) financial markets (financial modeling, valuation, communication between investors and companies, the role of financial intermediaries, impact of financial technologies on markets and society incl. AI ethics) and (II) the public sector accounting (open data initiatives, digitalization, and risk communication by local and central governments). Additionally, I engage in theoretical research focusing on (III) expectations, unawareness, uncertainty, probability, and sense-making in economics and finance. See below the list of relevant publications for each topic.
I have been working on these topics with various investment firms, listed companies, professional societies (for example,The British Accounting and Finance Association (BAFA), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and The Financial Reporting Council (FRC)), NGOs and regulators (for example, HM Treasury).
My research raised interest among finance and accounting professionals. For example, I presented my findings at the HM Treasury (at the Government Finance Function (GFF) festival, the User Preparer Advisory Group meeting and "Bringing Psychology & Social Sciences into Macroeconomics" conference) as well as at the Society of Investment Professionals in Germany (Deutsche Vereinigung für Finanzanalyse und Asset Management (DVFA)). My research on digitalization of accounting and risk communication by governmental departments in the UK was published as a technical research report by ACCA.
I have delivered invited talks and research seminars and organized conferences and workshops at various esteemed academic institutions worldwide.
Moreover, I enjoy being an engaged member of the academic community. I support editorial processes in academic publishing houses and economic, finance and sociological journals by providing numerous referee reports per year. I refereed for Oxford University Press; Columbia University Press; Routledge; Cambridge Journal of Economics; American Journal of Sociology; European Journal of Finance; Journal of Business Ethics; Finance and Society; Big Data & Society; EPA: Economy and Space; Competition & Change; Socio-Economic Review; Economy and Society; Theory, Culture & Society; Research Policy: Policy and Management Studies of Science, Technology and Innovation; Science Studies; Soziale Systeme; Current Sociology; Synthese: An International Journal for Epistemology, Methodology and Philosophy of Science; Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics; History of the Human Sciences.
I was a Chair (2020-2021) and member (2019- 2020) of the nominations committee at the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE) and member of selection panels at some research foundations.
I also served as an organizer of the school-wide Research Seminar Series at the School of Business, University of Leicester, UK, and the member of the Research Committee at the Karlshochschule International University, Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2011-14.

Other contributions
(I) With respect to financial markets, my research concerns the interactions between financial analysts/asset managers and companies. This entails a specific focus on the valuation of financial instruments, the communication and interpretation of risks, expectations and forecasts, and the roles assumed by diverse financial intermediaries in the processes of valuation and communication:

Financial modeling as well as HFT and AI technologies in finance—examining their impact on investment decisions, influence on markets and society, and the associated ethical considerations—have been a particular focus of my interest. Recently, I've also explored the ethical dimensions of AI (including systemic risks) and the roles of biodiversity modeling in finance:

(II) I have also explored accounting communication between public sector entities, including local and central governments, and various users of accounting information (such as parliamentarians, NGOs, journalists, and citizens). My focus has centered on accountability and open data initiatives in local governments, as well as digitalization and risk reporting in governmental departments (in the UK and the Netherlands). I investigated the questions of how to increase users' trust and improve accessibility and usability of data.

(III) An important aspect of my research involves theoretical explorations of fundamental concepts in economics and finance, for example, expectations: Here, I examine how expectations are conceptualized in economics and sociology and explore the idea of conceiving economic agents as AI agents who form expectations. Furthermore, I am interested in conceptualizing non-knowledge, sense-making, uncertainty, and probability in economics, finance and sociology.

Research profiles
I have gathered significant experience in teaching at graduate, undergraduate and executive levels in different institutes and universities and developed competences in delivering the core accounting, finance and management courses. In particular, corporate finance, management accounting and control, foundations of financial accounting, financial analysis and investments, behavioral finance, business ethics (incl. AI ethics) and critical management studies/economic sociology have become important constituents of my teaching portfolio.
I also have long-time experience in teaching qualitative and quantitative research methods.
My teaching philosophy clearly resonates with the UT mission to be a people-centred university of technology that empowers society through sustainable solutions by explicitly combining disciplines and sciences.
First, I always encourage students to be critical about the discussed theories and texts. My approach has been to first rigorously discuss the mainstream finance and accounting concepts in order to subsequently introduce possible alternatives, for example, from science and technology studies (STS), behavioural finance, complexity economics and social studies of finance and accounting.
Second, next to teaching the basic accounting and finance techniques, I have put emphases on the practical relevance of the taught courses. My students benefit from the breadth of my practical experience as financial analyst and portfolio manager as well as from my empirical research in financial markets. Case studies are an integral part of my teaching.
Third, my contacts in the business world allow me to invite top-class guest speakers into my classes and research seminars, for example, companies’ representatives as well as colleagues from CIMA (Charted Institute of Management Accounting) and DVFA (Deutsche Vereinigung der Finanzanalysten) to discuss the most recent developments in accounting and finance.
I also served as an external examiner for undergraduate finance modules (Corporate Finance, Capital Markets, Business Economics, Finance & Financial Analysis, Behavioral Finance, Financial Econometrics and Real Options Valuation) at the York School of Management, University of York, UK, in 2019-2021.
I have experience with degree program management and development. In particular, I played a pivotal role as the initiator and member of the task force responsible for the development and successful implementation of the new interdisciplinary bachelor's study program 'Sociology, Politics, and Economics' at Zeppelin University. Later, I contributed to the development of the master program 'Finance, Markets and Organizations' at the University of Leicester, UK.
I am well-trained didactically and possess the University Teaching Qualification certificate (equivalent to CertHE in the UK). I regularly participate in didactical workshops.

Current projects
Risk reporting for a safe and resilient society
A comparative study of the UK and the Netherlands
Risk disclosure by central governments'departments is still a nascent topic in both public sector accounting research and governmental practice. By triangulating the existing literature and explorative semi-structured interviews with departments’ representatives and other stakeholders, we will investigate the attributes of good/balanced/relevant risk reporting in the public sector and identify steps to make governmental risk disclosure more accessible and useful in order to contribute to a safe and resilient society. Comparing risk reporting practices in the UK and the Netherlands, the project will address a number of important questions, including: How can government build and maintain its accountability by improving risk reporting? What has already been achieved? How does the current regulatory context shape the governmental risk disclosure? What is the role of organisational culture? What are the challenges? We will also analyse digitalization and visualization strategies governments apply to report risks. The project will be conducted in collaboration between the Zijlstra Center for Public Control, Governance & Leadership, part of the School of Business and Economics (SBE) of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences (BMS) of the University of Twente.
Digital Finance
Reaching New Frontiers
A competitive European financial sector is vital for the modernization of the European economy across sectors and to turn Europe into a global digital player. We have identified the five most pertinent areas within this domain: Towards a European financial data space; Artificial intelligence for financial markets; Towards explainable and fair AI-generated decisions; Driving digital innovations with Blockchain applications; Sustainability of Digital Finance. The network will specifically train PhD candidates in these topics. For this purpose, we have gathered an internationally recognized network consisting of eight leading European Universities (WU Vienna, HU Berlin, University of Twente, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Babes-Bolyai University, Bern Business School, Kaunas University of Technology and University of Naples), three major international corporations (Deloitte, Swedbank, and Raiffeisen Bank International AG) with a significant R&D presence across Europe, two SMEs (Cardo AI and Royalton Partners) being some of the most innovative ones in their field, three large and internationally renowned research centres (ARC Greece, EIT Digital and Fraunhofer Institute), BIS and the European Central Bank.
Finished projects
Shaping local government financial reporting: starting from the citizens
The project explores the ways of enhancing public accountability and building up a dialogue between local authorities and citizens through open data initiatives. Drawing on the discussions around participatory budgeting and dialogical accounting, the research contributes to current debates in public sector accounting on the purposes and users of financial reports and is informed by behavioural finance. We particularly analyse the role of NGOs in empowering citizens and fostering transparency, civic participation and financial literacy.
Evaluation Practices in Financial Markets
The project studies how participants in financial markets conduct valuation of financial instruments. The goal is to examine evaluation practices in depth and in their technological and institutional contexts based on interviews and participant observations.
Accounting for trust in governmental reporting
The project supported the HM Treasury’s efforts to enhance user’s trust in governmental reporting. It aims to investigate whether this can be achieved through better accessibility, understandabilty and presentation of accounting data. Risk reporting is a particular focus of the project.
Communication of uncertainties about company’s future to capital markets
The project investigates the severe drawbacks in companies’ recent practices with regard to communicating and visualizing risks and uncertainties to the financial public. While analysing the challenges companies face by communicating the truly uncertain events (e.g., Brexit), the project develops the notion of uncertainty communication in financial markets as a holistic network phenomenon. The investigation into multi-directional flows of information, decisions and money helps to understand the process of co-creation the stories about accounting numbers and companies’ future in the various network links.
I am enthusiastic about contributing to blogs, podcasts and printed media. Please feel free to invite me to speak at your event on topics related to financial modeling, portfolio management, risk/uncertainty and risk reporting, AI in finance and AI ethics (and any other topics related to my research and interests).
