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 independently and effectively. My ideal work environment is one where intellectual and professional autonomy are valued. My expertise and diverse experiences make me 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.
