Curriculum Vitae
|
I studied mathematical economics at the University of Ljubljana, School of Economics and Business. In 2009, I continued my studies in Finance at Master's level and in 2011 I enrolled in an interdisciplinary PhD programme in Statistics. In my dissertation, I analysed the application of multilevel linear modelling to corporate capital structure, the evolution of the capital structure of European companies over the period 2005-2011, and the impact of debt on corporate performance. During my doctoral studies, I successfully completed all three levels of the Charter Financial Analyst programme and became a CFA charter holder in 2013. After completing my master's degree, I worked for a year at PDP, Special Company for Corporate Advisory, Inc. as an investment manager, but then returned to the School of Economics and Business where I am currently an assistant professor of statistics. I started my teaching career in 2009 and currently teach Slovenian and English undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics and multivariate analysis. I have written two statistics textbooks on topics related to statistical analysis and multivariate techniques. Initially they were written using applications of the statistical software SPSS, and later using the statistical software R. My academic research focuses on the application of statistics in corporate finance. Some of my research papers are: Do European firms behave as if they converge toward a target capital structure?; Why does a firm go bankrupt? and Multilevel regression and cluster confounding in finance: study of corporate capital structure. I am currently supervising two PhD students doing research in statistics, finance, and actuarial science.
