(vab-huv  AH-nund)

I am an Assistant Professor and Robert F. Corroon Endowed Chair in the Greenberg School of Risk Management at the Tobin College of Business, St. John’s University, NY, and Co-Director of the Institute for the Study of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience. My research examines decision-making under risk and uncertainty, focusing on how advances in forecasting shape risk financing, adaptation strategies, and optimal responses by individuals and organizations. 

My work addresses two core questions: First, how do individuals and organizations interpret forecast information and translate it into risk management responses? Second, how do these optimal responses evolve as forecasting and prediction technologies continue to improve?

I received my Ph.D. in Risk Management and Insurance from the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, a PGDM in Finance from IIM Lucknow, and a BTech in Engineering Physics from IIT Bombay. Prior to academia, I spent nine years in financial services risk management, primarily working in credit risk analytics and structured risk transfer. My professional resume is available on Linkedin.
