I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at UNSW Sydney. My research primarily focuses on two pillars: 1) the real effects of financial market (frictions) on the real economy; and 2) the interactions between human capital and innovation. My research also focuses on emerging issues facing companies and financial markets with cutting-edge big data and AI analytics.
I have published on leading academic and practitioner journals such as Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis and Harvard Business Review. Some of my research findings have been featured in several major academic conferences, news media, and think tanks such as AFA, EFA, SFS Cavalcade, Oxford Business Law Blog, Duke FinReg Blog, CATO Institute, and among others.
