BIO
I am from a small island called Gran Canaria (Spain) where I did my PhD in Economics. I am Assistant Professor in Finance at University College of Dublin (Ireland). Before that, I was Director of the Auckland Centre for Financial Research (Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand). My research focuses on the pricing of commodities and behavioral finance. My articles are published in leading academic journals such as the Journal of Financial Economics, Management Science, Review of Finance, Journal of Banking and Finance, or The Energy Journal, among others. As testimonies of the relevance of my research to the industry, my work is featured in media and practitioners' journals (Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Harvard Business Review, USA Today, Global Commodities Applied Research Digest, Hedge Funds Review, Investment and Pension Europe, or The Conversation), and was awarded grants from private companies such a United States Oil Fund, L.P., and financial market participants such as INQUIRE UK, BA/Leverhulme or AFAANZ. I am Associate Editor of Journal of Commodity Markets (the leading commodity markets journal), and member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Commodity Insights Digest (CID).
