Welcome to my personal website! 

I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Finance at the University of Kansas. My research interests include household finance, mutual fund, retirement savings plan, with a primary focus on 401(k) plans. I am on the 2025-2026 job market. 

I aim to advance the understanding of conflicts of interest between service providers and American households in 401(k) plans to help reduce plan costs and boost retirement benefits for households. 

I welcome any opportunities to connect and collaborate, please feel free to contact me at: Junchaoliao@ku.edu
