Dr Hadi Movaghari

I am a Teaching Fellow in Finance at the University of Leicester School of Business (ULSB), UK. Before joining Leicester, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Adam Smith Business School (ASBS), University of Glasgow, UK (2023–2025). I also hold a visiting position at the Nijmegen School of Management, Radboud University, the Netherlands. I earned my PhD in Finance from the Adam Smith Business School, fully funded by the College of Social Sciences (CoSS) Scholarship. Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained both my MSc and BSc degrees in Statistics from Tarbiat Modares University and Razi University, Iran, respectively. In April 2025, my research on machine learning applications in finance was endorsed by the British Academy. I was also the recipient of the 2024 PhD Excellence Award from the Adam Smith Business School.
