Personal Statement
After completing PhD from Cranfield School of Management, my first academic position was with University of Stirling where I spent two years as Lecture in Finance. I joined Strathclyde Business School in July 2012 and currently work as Professor of Finance. My research interest covers environmental, social and governance corporate finance risks. I have published (or accepted for publication) in internationally recognised journals such as British Journal of Management, Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF), Journal of Banking and Finance (JBF), Journal of International Money and Finance, Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money (JIFMIM), Journal of Financial Stability, International Review of Financial Analysis, European Journal of Finance, Pacific Basin Finance Journal and Journal of Multinational Financial Management (JMFM). I have also acted as referee for different journals - JCF, JBF, JBFA, JIFMIM, European Journal of Finance, European Financial Management, Emerging Markets Finance and Trade, Economic Modelling, JMFM, and Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance.
I have successfully supervised six PhD candidates and currently act as the supervisor of 10 PhD candidates. I also hold the role of Director - Post Graduate Research for the Accounting and Finance Department and Director - Finance PhD Admission.

“When Chandra teaches, he excites the class and shows enthusiasm in what he is teaching. Something I have never experienced with other lectures. His overall knowledge of finance is vast, and he always offers himself for any kind of support to the students and makes himself available. As well as these reasons, he is friendly and chats to students before and after lectures, asking how they like the course and how they are finding the workload. Lecture slides and examples are always detailed but concise.”
