Ideas:
“  Two megatrends, digital transformation and sustainability transformation, should be handled together. I am currently working on multiple projects; digitalization and digital transformation of financial sectors, SupTech, FinTech crises, asymmetric technology, sustainability transformation of financial institutions, national sustainability policies, and more... Restarting with the active academic life in 2019 and posting our papers in Q3 2020, I am happy to know that I am in the top 10% of Authors on SSRN by total new downloads within the last 12 months. The statistic is encouraging. With almost completed two book projects, eight ongoing research projects, and four new project considerations at the crossroads of sustainable finance and digital finance, I will keep contributing to the "sustainable digital finance" area. And I am always happy to work with financial industry professionals, academics, and researchers who have the same mission.  ”
