Dr. Supriya Kapoor is an Assistant Professor in Finance at Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin, and a Research Affiliate at the Central Bank of Ireland. She holds a PhD in Financial Economics from University College Dublin, an MSc in Economics from Trinity College Dublin, and a B.A. (Hons) in Economics from the University of Delhi, India.
Her research sits at the intersection of macro-finance, corporate finance, and climate finance, with a primary focus on monetary policy, banking, financial intermediation, and firm behaviour. She examines how large-scale economic and regulatory policies transmit through financial institutions to affect corporate financing, investment decisions, credit allocation, and financial stability. Her corporate finance work explores firm financing structures, earnings-based versus collateral-based lending, and investment responses to monetary shocks. In climate finance, she studies how climate-related risks and policy uncertainty influence bank lending, credit pricing, and systemic resilience.
Her research has been published in leading international journals, including Journal of Financial Stability, Journal of Banking & Finance, Small Business Economics, and International Journal of Central Banking. Her work is predominantly empirical, grounded in strong theoretical foundations, and carries clear implications for monetary, regulatory, and macroprudential policy. She has contributed to understanding the real effects of conventional and unconventional monetary policy, including asset purchase programmes, and their transmission to firms and credit markets.
Dr. Kapoor has collaborated on research projects with scholars at the Central Bank of Ireland, European Central Bank, Banque de France, Sveriges Riksbank, Queen Mary University of London, and the University of Essex. She has been a funded Visiting Scholar at the Banque de France and Sveriges Riksbank. In March 2024, she was appointed Research Affiliate at the Macro-Finance Division of the Central Bank of Ireland. In recognition of the societal and policy impact of her research, she received the Research Impact Award (Best Societal Impact Award) 2025 from Trinity Business School.
At Trinity Business School, she teaches Introduction to Finance, Financial Markets and Institutions, and Financial Management at undergraduate level; Applications in Risk Management and Financial Markets and Institutions on the MSc in Financial Risk Management; and Entrepreneurial Finance on the Flexible Executive MBA. In 2024, she designed and launched the undergraduate module BUU33760 Financial Markets and Institutions. She previously taught at University College Dublin, Maynooth University, and Dublin City University Business School, bringing over six years of teaching experience across leading Irish institutions.
Her excellence in teaching was recognised with the Trinity College Dublin Inspiring Educator Award 2024/25. Out of more than 120 nominations across the College, she was selected as one of just 12 awardees, reflecting her commitment to student engagement and experiential learning.
Dr. Kapoor currently serves as Programme Director for the MSc in Financial Risk Management. She has strengthened the programme's practical orientation by embedding company visits, practitioner-led guest lectures, applied case-based learning, and industry engagement into the curriculum. Under her leadership, the programme integrates macro-financial frameworks with real-world risk management challenges, enhancing professional readiness for careers in banking, central banking, asset management, and regulation.
Beyond academia, she contributes to public discourse through articles and interviews for Euronews, The Conversation, and MeJudice, and has appeared on the podcast The Why Curve, discussing central banking and inflation.
