I am a PhD student in Economics at USC. I received my Bachelor's in Business from USC and Master's in Economics from Duke University.

My main research areas are Asset Pricing and Applied Econometrics. Using econometrics tools, I like to analyze how and why various asset prices change over time. My recent work involves measuring strength of factors in high-dimensional settings, examining oil price shocks, and identifying asset pricing factors with statistically significant alphas.  

I am a Ph.D. student in Finance and Business Economics at the Marshall School of Business of the University of Southern California. I hold a bachelor's degree in Finance and Economics from New York University Shanghai, and master’s degree in mathematics of Finance from Columbia University.
