Personal profile
Research interests
I hold a PhD in Finance and MSc in Economics from University of Exeter Business School. My primary interests include corporate pension funds; the financing of early-stage, high-growth, high-tech entrepreneurial firms; and directors’ compensation. I am also actively involved in research on small business growth dynamics; and government policies on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance. I have published extensively in leading academic journals, and has been commissioned by both national governments and international institutions to conduct policy-focused research on entrepreneurship policy and policy evaluation. Prior to joining University of Bath, I was Associate Professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and Renmin University of China. I have also held positions at Exeter Business School and UK Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS).
