Andrew Sinclair, 2024
I have designed several popular undergraduate and graduate courses at HKU and Caltech, including classes on Chinese finance, hedge funds, and investments. My class "Understanding China Through Finance" (avg. score 94.6%) provides students with a foundation for understanding 21st century China in a global context. My hedge funds class (avg. score 97.2%) builds on my dissertation at Yale, and provides students with the tools of quantitative trading, including modern machine learning techniques. In recognition of my teaching, in 2022 I was awarded the "Faculty Outstanding Teaching Award (Undergraduate Teaching)" by the Faculty of Business and Economics at HKU.
