About Zheng

Zheng is a graduate student in the Decision, Risk and Financial Sciences Program at the University of Melbourne since 2023.

He developed his interest in behavioral economics and finance during undergraduate studies at Pennsylvania State University (US), majoring in finance, economics, and mathematics. After having obtained a master's degree in economics at London School of Economics (UK), he worked for one year as a full-time research assistant at Harvard University, where his research focused on experimental economics topics such as intertemporal choice, cognitive uncertainty, and confidence. Prior to commencing his PhD study, Zheng worked at Deloitte for two years researching and developing quantitative financial models, algorithms, and robo-advisors for regulatory and financial institutions.

Currently, his research interests are mainly in (1) understanding behavioural aspects of individual financial decision-making, (2) exploring the use of FinTech to improve the efficiency of decision-making under various financial contexts, and (3) developing theoretical framework that explains aggregate market irregularities from individual level.
