Biography
EDUCATION
I have an undergraduate degree in Science & Mathematics India), M.A. (US) and an M. Phil (UK) in Finance and Economics and a Ph.D. (Japan) on applications of Game theory to takeovers. Professor CR Rao, a world renouned statistician was the main advisor.
TEACHING
I have a wide range of teaching experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels covering variety of courses in Economics & Finance to diverse group of students at least in 7 countries. However, major experience of teaching and research has been in various fields of economics both, in semester and annual scheme of examination. My main specialism is in the application of quantitative, game theory and econometrics techniques to decision making economics, finance and accounting. This is reflected in core final year B.A./B.Sc. courses, Microeconomic, Macroeconomics, Industrial Economics, Corporate Finance, European Integration, Monetary Union, Regional Development, Quantitative Economics, Research Methods, and Advance Financial Statistics. These Modules are taken by 50-100 students annually. In addition, rather than provide tutorials for small groups, the students tackle specially designed problems in workshops of 25-30. My teaching returns would suggest that both the lectures and the workshop sessions are popular with students and shows commitment and enthusiasm for high quality teaching and learning. As a consequence of my research and postgraduate teaching interests I have supervised several dissertations.
ADMINISTRATION
I became coordinator for Faculty Seminars. In that capacity I had an opportunity to invite and interact with top ranking people in the profession from all over the world. In 1994 I attended Post-Graduate Research Supervision Workshop and became coordinator of Post-Graduate Research. As the coordinator I served on the Faculty Post-Graduate Committee and had an opportunity to evaluate applications and supervision of for PhDs/MPhil, developed curriculum in Finance, coordinated the development and delivery of taught modules at UG and PG levels, ensuring quality procedures in compliance with QAA, wrote guidelines for supervision and provided guidance to students, monitored students progress at all levels, engaged in examination process and coordinating with external and internal examiners, conducted and published research of a scholarly nature, etc. My international experience has also contributed to overseas promotional activities and I was involved in staff development and timetabling.
RESEARCH
I have considerable research experience in finance, economics and accounting. I have published a number of papers in refereed journals using interdisciplinary approach and had an opportunity to participate and present papers in several international meetings including International Conference on Performance Measurement-Theory and Practice and International Symposium on Energy and Environmental Regulation held at Judge Institute of Management, Cambridge and Hertford College, Oxford respectively and a UNEP Workshop on Environmental Economics in Singapore in which I contributed a paper to a volume on environmental accounting addressing corporate, social and affirmative action issues within local and global environment. My main research interests lay in the field of application of quantitative techniques, game theory and econometrics to economics, finance and accounting. I was invited to serve on the Expert Group of UNEP/UNCTAD in the US & Japan. During 1994 to present some of my consultancy work has developed into academic research. I was also invited to contribute four short articles on various aspects of finance, including 'Finance and Game theory' in the Encyclopedia Dictionary of Finance, published by Blackwell, 1997. My research was rated at RAE 4 level by University of Nottingham in 2001. I have also obtained research funding from external sources. The above background has helped me in developing self confidence, which enables me to accept new challenges and responsibilities.
PROFESSIONAL STANDING
In addition to the receipt of Young Social Scientist Award from the University Grants Commission for 1983-1988, my professional standing is evidenced in three further ways. Firstly, my services are being increasingly called upon as a referee for a number of leading academic finance and economics journals. I currently act as an ad hoc reviewer for eight journals. Secondly, I worked as a visiting professor in Australia, Poland, Japan, New Zealand, etc. Thirdly, I have played a key role in a series of Conferences sponsored by the European Financial Management, UNEP & UNCTAD and professional bodies and also served on the UNEP/UNCTAD Expert Group. I have presented plenary papers, acted as a referee for prospective papers and as an invited Chairperson and discussant for American Economic Association, International Conference in Accounting & Governance, Financial Management Association, Royal Economic Society, Econometrics Society Meetings, etc. The Financial Management Association International selected my papers as one of the best papers an awarded grant to present it.
