Love of Research

I find academic business research to be fulfilling and stimulating. Whether delving into bank regulation, labor policy or the economic consequences of the pandemic, research shapes perspectives and actions of policymakers and practitioners.  

Why Olin?  

Olin is a top institution boasting a world-class reputation. Its faculty members are renowned experts. Olin is committed to providing a supportive environment with ample resources for students to achieve academic and personal success.  

Favorite Course 

Empirical Methods in Corporate Finance, taught by the late Professor Radha Gopalan, was extraordinary. Professor Gopalan’s passion and enthusiasm for the subject was contagious. His creative use of teaching methods such as student presentations, group projects and guest lectures added zest to the classes.  

Diversity and Inclusion 

Olin’s firm commitment to diversity and inclusion may be its greatest asset. As an international student, I’ve felt that my own Chinese culture and roots are appreciated and celebrated.  

Advice to Prospective Students 

Visit the Olin campus. Get a cup of coffee, sit down in the Frick Forum and feel the vibe. It’s a supportive environment where communication, collaboration and friendship are cherished, and where people generate fresh ideas.
