Research Interests

My doctoral research examines how teams are managed in the virtual and hybrid work models that multinational corporations adopted after COVID-19. It is an interpretivist multiple-case study of senior directors, analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis, from which I develop a three-layer framework covering leadership enactment, coordination mechanisms and contextual navigation.

A second line of work concerns pedagogical innovation in finance and accounting education, including ERP-enhanced curricula and AI-driven financial modelling, alongside managerial accounting and decision-making under uncertainty.
