    Research Interests

    As an Accounting academic my primary motivation is to contribute to improving public policy and practice through research and dissemination of knowledge. To align my research to this motivation, I aim to explore and better understand the roles (and implications) of (management) accounting as technologies for control, governance and in operationalizing public policies.

    Areas of interest for research (public sector):

    • Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) / Private Finance Initiative (PFI)
    • Governance / performance management frameworks operationalized in the higher education sector.
    • Government's response to Covid-19/pandemics and other crises.

     

    Teaching Activity

    My main teaching (and research) interest is in Management Accounting.

    At Aston I have been teaching on UG first-year accounting modules to both specialist and non-specialist students, including module-lead role for the non-specialist accounting module.

    At PG level, I am involved in teaching Management and Strategic Management Accounting modules for the MSc Accounting and Finance and the Aston-Online (MBA) programme. Besides, I also facilitate PG and PGR students for their Research Methods modules.

    I regularly supervise MSc (research) dissertation and project students as well as the UG Year-3 work placement students.
