About ME

Hello and Welcome! 

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Warwick. 

Research and Relevant Experience:

My research focuses on expectation formation, artificial intelligence techniques, and monetary economics. It is interdisciplinary and combines economics with computer science/AI technologies. My latest working paper is here.

More specifically, my research provides an innovative learning mechanism to model economic agents' decision-making processes through deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms. A DRL agent has no information on the underlying economic structure and its own preference. It does not know how states transit in the environment. The agent must determine what is feasible and what is desirable in its choice set by first exploring and collecting information in this world. These are then being processed by artificial neural networks that approximate the agent’s policy and value functions. For more information, visit Research.

I was an academic visitor at the Bank of England from Jan. - Jun. 2020. I was a co-investigator in a Rebuilding Macroeconomics project "Deep Learning in a New Keynesian Model of Banking and Money Creation".
