I am Choonsik (Chris) Lee, working as an Associate Professor (with Tenure) of Finance at the University of Rhode Island.
I am visiting the University of South Carolina during Fall 2025 for my sabbatical leave.
My research focuses on corporate governance practices, specifically for information dissemination, disclosures, and proxy voting. Often, I use shareholder activism, from Schedule 13D filings to proxy contests, as a setting to investigate my research questions.
I have certain skill sets to process large datasets efficiently. I also use web crawling and semantic searches to deal with corporate filings from the SEC EDGAR and other sources. Recently, I started using Meta's Llama models to automate certain analyst tasks, and I will be posting a research paper on this soon!
