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 macroeconomics. It contributes to the understanding of how economic agents' behaviours adapt to past experience and policy changes. It is interdisciplinary, and combines economics with computer science/AI technologies and neuroscience research on decision-makings. My latest working paper is here.

More specifically, my research provides a plausible model for expectation formation and decision making of an economic agent through the actor-critic structure of reinforcement learning. This learning agent collects information from the world it lives in through taking exploratory actions. This past experience that is generated from interacting with the environment is used in updating the agent's subjective belief about the world. In a non-stationary world, this learning agent's subjective belief also evolves. This model is linked to latest research in neural science and psychology of human decision making.

I was an economic consultant at the Asian Development Bank from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022, analysing debt dynamics and fiscal sustainability. 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".
