I am a world leading researcher in the field of stock market liquidity. I am particularly interested in developing new measures of liquidity, how liquidity reacts to news, carbon markets and the liquidity of zero leverage firms. More recently, my research has also included liquidity of SMEs and cryptocurrencies. My future research plans are in the areas of liquidity and the coronavirus and on the association between liquidity and asset pricing. Scholarly biography I joined Brighton Business School in 2014 as a Professor of Finance. I have held senior academic positions at various universities including the University of Hull, Brunel University and the University of East Anglia. A world leading authority in finance, I have published extensively in leading finance journals, have generated a vast mount of research income and supervised numerous PhD students to completion.
