About

Introduction

I'm Hongzhao Yang. I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from ShanghaiTech University and am currently a direct-track Ph.D. student at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, CAS, working on financial market microstructure and rational expectations equilibria. Beyond math and finance, I have hands-on experience in algorithms, engineering, tabletop game design, and independent content creation. Endlessly curious, and eager to dig into new technology.
