Jose Torres
PHD Candidate
Rice University

Welcome to My Page!

I am a PhD Candidate in Accounting at Rice University, with research primarily focused on banking issues, particularly how bank stakeholders acquire and use information. My recent work examines the active monitoring role of depositors. I expect to receive my Ph.D. in Accounting from Rice University in May 2025.

Before Rice, I earned an MBA from INCAE Business School in Costa Rica and a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering from Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. 

Prior to my academic career, I worked for over seven years as a senior business analyst and marketing manager at the largest bank in Peru. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters. When I have extra time, I focus on staying healthy by working out and playing soccer, and I nurture my mind by reading books.
