Ph.D. Candidate in Finance

Ross School of Business, University of Michigan

I am a 5th year Finance Ph.D. Candidate at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. I will join Boston University Questrom School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Finance starting Summer 2024. 

My research interests lie in the areas of corporate finance and financial intermediation, with a focus on environmental finance and private equity.  I am currently interested in studying the financial frictions that impede the green transition and the role financial markets play in alleviating them. 

Prior to joining the doctoral program at Ross, I worked as an analyst at an investment bank in Hong Kong and London. I have an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Business from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong.
