I am interested in several research areas diversified between financial accounting, cost accounting, Big Data technology, and Artificial Intelligence. 

My master thesis examines the impact of historical costing on real earnings management.

One of my research papers introduces a new definition of risk disclosure. 

Also, I have a number of papers that examine cost behavior or cost stickiness phenomenon. 

I examine also different types of earnings management such as income smoothing, accruals management, and real earnings management.
