Bio

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics under the supervision of Prof. Harry Huizinga, Prof. Harald Benink and Dr. Louis Raes (2021/09 - exp. 2025/08).  Previously, I have studied at the Stockholm School of Economics (Master's in Economics) and the Renmin University of China (Bachelor's in Economics). More personal experiences can be found in my CV.

My research delves into the responses of financial markets to climate change, with a particular focus on the international provision of brown financing. I aim to uncover the diverse forms and incentives driving the international transfer of climate-related risks through financial markets.
