Gabriel Aboyadana

Economist

Financial and Development Economics

I am an experienced economist and finance expert with a Ph.D. in Economics from Strathclyde Business School and an MPhil in Finance from the University of Ghana Business School. Having completed a PGCert in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from the University of Strathclyde, I believe learning should be useful. Consequently, I have spent almost a decade as a university educator, training talented learners to develop world-changing skills. I have experience in curriculum development and delivery from foundation to postgraduate courses. I have previously developed study materials for the London Institute of Banking and Finance as an external consultant in specialisms such as Banking, Financial Services and Financial Derivatives. I am an active member of several professional societies.

I am skilled in research with a growing portfolio of impactful research projects on topics that straddle development economics, labour economics, economics of education and bank risk-taking. I have an excellent appreciation of quantitative research methods in Finance and Economics that has developed through my research experience and formal training, including a PGCert in Research Methods in Business and Management. I have provided formal research supervision to more than 40 graduate students and many more informally and examiner for more than 60 graduate research projects.

As a professional, my unique characteristics include my ability to work collaboratively within a team but also being able to work independently and effectively. My ideal work environment is one where intellectual and professional autonomy are valued. My expertise and diverse experiences place me well as a well-rounded academic. My entrepreneurial zeal sets a fire in me that drives me to success and innovation.

I am open to enquiries on research collaborations and consultancies involving my expertise.
