Welcome to my homepage! I am Professor of NUS Business School. I joined the National University of Singapore in July 2016. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor of Accountancy at the City University of Hong Kong. My works have been published in Accounting, Finance, Management and Psychology journals, including The Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Research, Journal of Accounting and Economics, Review of Accounting Studies, Contemporary Accounting Research, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Management Science, Organization Science, Journal of Applied Psychology, and Nature: Human Behaviour.
I was born in a small town on the Leizhou Peninsula (雷州半岛) and studied for six years at Mathematical Olympiad School (within the Affiliated High School of South China Normal University) in Guangzhou, where my early interest in mathematics and physics took shape. I received my bachelor’s degree in economics from Sun Yat-sen University and Ph.D. in finance from the National University of Singapore. My intellectual interests lie in banking, the role of information in insecure times, and Zen (禅).
My research papers are no more than a quiet page or two within the endless records in this miracal world. Their meaning only lies in the chance of finding readers whose hearts echo in sympathy. And so we wait, each of us, for the readers who are truly ours.
