Cian Twomey’s B.Comm. and M.Econ.Sc. were awarded by University College, Cork and his IMC is a professional financial services qualification from the Society of Investment Analysts. Before joining NUI, Galway in September 2000, he worked for three years at University College, Cork and for two years in fund management with Bank of Ireland Asset Management, Dublin.

His primary research interests are in financial economics, in particular, the modelling of cross-market volatility linkages, international correlations, conditional skewness and volume-volatility interactions. His other research interests are in the related areas of international finance, monetary economics, banking, financial derivatives, and the interplay between financial and industrial economics. These correspond well with the courses he has taught in financial economics, monetary economics, banking, econometrics, statistics, business economics, and financial derivatives.
