Hello. I am Anand M. Vijh, Marvin and Rose Lee Pomerantz Chair Professor in Finance in Tippie College of Business at University of Iowa. I received my Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley in 1987 and was first employed at University of Southern California. I have been employed at University of Iowa since 1994. My research interests are diverse: Corporate Finance, Investments, Derivatives, and Financial Accounting. I have many publications in top three finance and accounting journals in all of these areas. My particular area of emphasis has been in mergers and acquisitions and other forms of corporate restructurings. My teaching has also been diverse, and has included courses in managerial finance, investments, derivatives, international finance, and short seminars. I have been actively represented on many department, college, and university committees, in particular, promotion and tenure, curriculum design, recruiting, and faculty benefits.
