He holds a PhD in Finance from the University of Strathclyde, where his research examined how macro-environmental factors such as regulatory, ecological, and social-political influences affect corporate behavior and investor decisions. He also earned an MSc in Finance (with distinction) and a PGDip in Research Methodology in Business and Management from the same institution, along with an Associate Fellow (AFHEA) status from Advance HE.

His research spans corporate finance with a multidisciplinary lens, integrating themes from climate, sustainability, psychology, politics, and sociology. Key areas include ESG, institutional and foreign investors, corporate investments, risk-taking, and governance. He is open to PhD supervision and collaborative research in these domains.

His recent publications focus on mandatory corporate social responsibility and its implications for foreign institutional investor preferences and stock market liquidity. These works reflect a strong trend in sustainable finance and regulatory impacts on investment behavior, particularly in emerging market contexts.

Dr. Roy actively contributes to the academic community by presenting at premier conferences such as the Academy of International Business (AIB), Financial Management Association (FMA), and Southern Finance Association (SFA).

He teaches courses such as Managerial Finance (UG) and Private Equity and Financing Start-Ups (MBA), demonstrating engagement across undergraduate and postgraduate programs. There is no mention of grants or specific research teams, but his interdisciplinary orientation suggests potential collaborations across social sciences and sustainability-focused initiatives.
