I am an Assistant Professor in Sustainable Finance at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Division of Environment and Sustainability). I obtained my Ph.D. in Finance at Paris Dauphine University. My research interests are mostly at the intersection of Corporate Finance and Sustainable Finance.
