Kamil Korhan Nazliben serves as Assistant Professor of Finance at Tilburg University's Tilburg School of Economics and Management, where he also holds the position of Academic Director for the International Management master's program. His research spans sustainable finance, corporate governance, behavioral finance, and business ethics, with a distinctive focus on post-conflict societies, particularly Sri Lanka.
Dr. Nazliben's research interests center on how social diversity, board composition, and corporate governance mechanisms affect firm performance in contexts of ethnic conflict and post-war reconciliation. His work demonstrates that ethno-linguistic inclusiveness on corporate boards positively impacts both financial stability and market performance in Sri Lanka, challenging conventional wisdom about communication barriers in diverse boards. His research bridges finance with social sciences, examining how cultural norms and ethical values influence corporate governance regulation and practice.
Analysis of his publication history reveals a clear evolution from more traditional finance topics toward socially relevant research on corporate governance in post-conflict environments. His most recent work consistently examines Sri Lanka as a case study, generating insights applicable to other regions with similar historical and social contexts. The interdisciplinary nature of his work connects finance with sociology, political science, and ethics.
His scientific recognition includes multiple Excellent Teaching Awards across different academic years (2017-2023), reflecting his commitment to pedagogical excellence. His teaching portfolio spans undergraduate to master's level courses including International Finance, Sustainable Finance and Value Creation, Financial Management, and Investments and Behavioral Finance.
Dr. Nazliben has supervised numerous master's theses, including Emil S. Kumara's doctoral work on corporate governance in Sri Lanka. His current projects include the 'Lifelong Development in Finance' initiative. He also contributes to university governance through service on the Education Committee and as coordinator for bachelor thesis supervision in finance.
His research activities include maintaining active collaborations with institutions like the University of Queensland and participating in research centers including CentER for Economic Research, Tilburg Law and Economic Center (TILEC), and Tilburg Sustainability Center. His dataset on 'Social qualities of corporate managers in Sri Lanka' demonstrates his commitment to transparent and reproducible research.
