About

I am a PhD student in Finance at the UBC Sauder School of Business. My research is in asset pricing, both empirical and theoretical, with a focus on the links between financial markets and the macroeconomy, and I use modern machine-learning methods in my research. Before the PhD, I completed an M.Sc. in Finance at UBC Sauder, worked as a quantitative researcher on high-frequency and alpha strategies in the Chinese stock market, and earned a B.Econ. from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).

Cats

My two cats, Lemon and Peach.

The two cats side by side on a desk Napping together on a rug Asleep together on the desk Each in its own flower bed Curled up together on a desk chair Curled up together on a mat Sprawled belly-up on the carpet Sharing the cat tree Napping in the window hammock Belly-up on a chair Stretched out on a chair cushion Curled up in a box
