Beyond my main interest in banking and securities markets regulation, in my research, I look at the interaction of financial regulation with 1) various areas of private law, such as contract and bankruptcy law, 2) competition and data protection law and public law more generally and 3) regulation in sectors other than finance, in particular energy, sustainability, and technology.

In the first research area, I am mainly interested in the ways in which the law shapes creditor protections in ways that are economically significant but remain neglected in financial regulation. Here, examples of relevant topics include the procyclicality of creditor protections and the regulatory function of contracts.

In the second research area, I am interested in the potential conflicts between the logic of financial regulation and that of public law. Here, topics include considerations of competition in the industrial organization of financial markets and the legal ramifications of the so-called open finance initiatives.

Finally, in the third research area, I seek to capture the ever-expanding domain of financial regulation into sectors such as energy, environment, or technology. Here, relevant topics include the application of (the logic of) financial regulation to the trading of energy derivatives, as well as various topics in environmental, and social governance (ESG) as well as financial technology (FinTech).
