About Me

Hello! I am Emil, a researcher doing a Ph.D. in Finance and Economics. My research interests lie at the intersection of finance, economics digitalization, and the agricultural business. With a background in Business Administration, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications in economic development and sustainability.

My academic journey began with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Business Administration from the American University of Central Asia, followed by an exchange program at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). This diverse educational foundation has equipped me with a global perspective and multidisciplinary skills.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and empowering others. I have served as an Assistant Professor, teaching finance and marketing, and as the Head of Alumni Relations at the American University of Central Asia. My professional experience in the banking sector further complements my research endeavors, providing me with real-world insights into the financial industry.

As a multilingual professional fluent in Kyrgyz, Russian, and English, and with basic proficiency in German, I thrive in cross-cultural and interdisciplinary environments. Through my research and teaching, I strive to contribute to the understanding and advancement of sustainable and competitive business practices globally.
