My major was Financial Engineering for both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. After completing my Master’s degree at Stevens Institute of Technology in the United States, I entered the industry and have worked as a financial quantitative analyst in China for six years. Throughout my career, I've gained valuable experience in various areas such as pricing & valuation of asset-backed securities, building & back-testing equity strategies, portfolio management, and risk management modelling in both public and private markets. My research interests primarily revolve around portfolio management and risk modelling.
