Trang Thi Phuong Do

I am a PhD student at the University of St Andrews Business School.

Before pursuing my PhD, I worked for the largest commercial bank in Vietnam (BIDV) for 17 years in various positions, recently as a Vice President, Head of Asia, Development Financial Institutions and Sustainable Finance at Financial Institutions Group.

I hold an MSc in Money, Banking, and Finance from the University of Birmingham under the UK government’s Chevening Scholarship and a Bachelor of Finance – Banking from the Banking Academy of Vietnam.

I am currently conducting research in banking with an emphasis on Green Lending. Specifically, I’m considering a PhD project exploring the impact of Net Zero emissions policies on bank lending in developing countries. My research interests also include advancement in sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

My PhD is funded by a University of St Andrews School of Management PhD Studentship.
