Overview
I am a PhD candidate in Accounting & Finance section at Cardiff Business School. My current research interest is related to the nature and impact of digital transformation, particularly in the context of financial industries and international business. I am also interested in studying corporate governance and banking topics.
Prior to my PhD studying, I hold a Master degree of Accounting and business information technology (University of New South Wales) and a Bachelor degree of Commerce (University of Sydney).
