Zhong-guo "John" Zhou
I received my Ph.D. in Financial Economics from the University of California, Riverside, in 1993 and joined the Nazarian College in 1998. I teach financial management (corporate finance), investments, and derivatives for both graduate and undergraduate programs. My research interests include asset pricing, capital markets, financial modeling, and initial public offerings (IPOs). Committed to teaching, research, and university/community services, in my spare time, I like watching sports, playing table tennis, traveling, reading, and cooking.
