I am deeply passionate about empowerment of young people. I am heavily involved in academic mentoring. From time to time, I actively seek out opportunities to mentor youth who aspire to pursue doctoral training in economics, finance, mathematics and statistics. Through BAUM TenPers Institute, a group where I am a senior research fellow, I have supervised and mentored students who have gone on to win highly competitive and generous scholarships to pursue graduate studies at leading institutions worldwide such as Princeton, Cornell, Yale, Oxford, Warwick, Berkeley, Michigan, and many others
