My Research Activities
During my study in China, I mainly studied the topic of online financing. Specifically, I study the customer behavior and mechanism design on crowdfunding platforms and published a paper regarding how to allocate profits properly in investment-based crowdfunding to improve success rates.
I am currently applying model uncertainty to actuarial problems to produce robust estimates and insights for the industry. I am also interested in large portfolio losses and systemic risk in insurance and want to conduct more research in these areas. Moreover, I am also collaborating with scholars from behavioral finance to study how people's learning behavior when making financial decisions under different types of uncertainty.
