Hyungchan Cho
Ph.D. Candidate in Technology and Operations
Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan
Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professors Damian Beil and Andrew Wu.
My research focuses on two main streams:
(1) identifying organizational decision-making that impacts firm operations by leveraging both structured and unstructured data, such as financial statements, personnel CVs, shareholder proposals, quarterly earnings call transcripts, and analyst forecasts; and
(2) exploring the implications of robotics in daily life, including customer bias toward robotic chefs and the operational impact of robotic-assisted surgery.
Before my Ph.D. journey, I worked as a fellow actuary at Korean Reinsurance Company for five years. I completed my B.S. in Mathematics and B.B.A. in Business Administration with a minor in Statistics from Korea University.
I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market.
