Profile
My research papers investigate implications of various corporate governance factors on financial reporting quality, audit quality and tax. I investigate both internal governance factors (e.g., CEO social network, company corporate culture, executive compensation, employee financial stress) and external governance factors (e.g., social media, traditional media, institutional investors). My research contributes not only to academic literature but also has practical implications. For example, two of my research papers have been featured in CLS Blue Sky Blog of Columbia University Law School, which is an outlet closely followed by lawyers, investment bankers and other professionals in Wall Street.
I have been teaching ACCT 3130 (Analytics for Accounting Decision Making) since Fall 2019. The course has become popular among students and employers of our students, who expect our students to have strong business analytics skills. I have incorporated the latest technology tools and case projects in this course so that our students would meet the labor market expectations. Further, I taught four sections of ACCT 3030 (Cost Accounting). I have also been serving as a faculty advisor for the IMA student organization since Fall 2022. Furthermore, I have actively participated in recruiting events, research workshops, and student organization meetings (e.g., BAP and IMA student organizations). I have also been in touch with industry and public accounting firms to make sure that our teaching materials meet the expectations of industry standards.
