He holds a Doctorate in Economics from the same institution (2016) and a Master's in Financial Modelling (2006). His research focuses on firm failure processes, international business strategies, corporate governance, and SME dynamics, with a particular emphasis on bankruptcy prediction, export support effectiveness, and entrepreneurial behavior.
