Mo Fallah

I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno. I received my Ph.D. in Finance from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). My research interests include empirical corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, investments, and private equity.

I am a CFA charterholder and a member of the San Francisco CFA Society. I hold a Master of Science degree in Finance from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL. I have worked as an investment analyst.

I am passionate about teaching finance and enjoy interacting with students. I received the Craig School of Business Excellence in Teaching Award in 2025. I am a co-advisor of the Student-Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) at Fresno State, with more than💲8.6 million 💵 under management.

My colleague Dr. Le Zhao and I co-organize the FREBL Research Seminar Series. See the upcoming seminars schedule here. Please contact us for more information or if you are interested in presenting your work.
