Dr Panagiotis Koutroumpis is an academic in finance and researcher at ICMA centre specialising in corporate finance and the effects of geopolitical risk on financial institutions and corporate behaviour.


He holds a PhD in Financial Economics from Brunel University London and has extensive teaching and research experience across leading UK and European institutions, Queen Mary University of London, the University of Sussex, City University of London, IE Business School and Paris School of Business. He has also held a Visiting Fellowship at the Hellenic Observatory of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

Over the past eight years, he has supervised more than 2,500 MSc dissertations and has received a Postgraduate Teaching Award from Queen Mary University of London in recognition of his contributions to teaching and student learning.

Dr Koutroumpis's research lies at the intersection of corporate finance, banking, and macro-financial linkages, with particular emphasis on shadow banking, geopolitical risk, and machine learning applications in finance. His recent research employs advanced textual analysis and AI-based language models, including FinBERT and FinLLaMA, to investigate firm behaviour, financial distress, and corporate communication.

His research has been published in internationally recognised peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Corporate Finance, Annals of Operations Research, Journal of Institutional Economics, Journal of Empirical Finance, and International Journal of Finance & Economics, among others.

As part of his commitment to continuous professional development and interdisciplinary expertise, Dr Koutroumpis follows a joint program in Oil, Gas and Hydrogen Management and Transportation, offered by the University of Western Macedonia and Azerbaijan State University of Economics (UNEC). This specialised programme complements his academic background in finance while broadening his expertise in energy markets, commodity trading, energy infrastructure and international transportation, further strengthening the links between his research, teaching and industry engagement.

Dr Koutroumpis has also been awarded the Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) designation by CPA Australia, an internationally recognised professional accounting. This qualification complements his academic expertise and reflects his commitment to connecting academic research, financial practice, and professional standards.
