Prospective Students and Research Assistants

I am recruiting motivated Ph.D. students interested in FinTech and Finance, as well as remote research assistants and research interns to collaborate on ongoing research projects.

My current research focuses on applying machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze corporate annual reports, earnings conference calls, patent text, and business news.

Programming skills in Stata, SAS, or Python are strongly preferred, but applicants without prior programming experience will also be considered.

Interested candidates are encouraged to email me their CV and a brief description of their research interests.
