Jose Torres
Assistant Professor
INCAE Busines School
I am a Assistant Professor in Accounting at INCAE Business School, 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 graduated from Rice University with a Ph.D. in Accounting in May, 2025. Before joining the Ph.D. program at 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.
