I am honored to have received the prize for my job market paper at the 7th Asset Pricing Conference organized by LTI@UniTO at Collegio Carlo Alberto. It was a great opportunity to receive a discussion from Fabio Trojani.
I also enjoyed a lot the presentations and discussions from all the speakers. Many thanks to the organizers for such an insightful and engaging conference!

Do you know besides academics, ...
I was a non-professional musician and I play the Dan Tranh, a traditional Vietnamese zither. In 2015, I won First Place at the American Protege International Music Talent Competition. I was honored to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York.

Keeping my spine in line with my career!
Nothing feels better than a Pilates class to refresh my body and mind. I feel more positive and productive at work!
I love learning, teaching, and doing research. Same for my hobby: I am training for the Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Pilates Comprehensive certification. You can find my classes occasionally at BASI Pilates Academy Amsterdam.
My interview for the PhD council
Why did you want to be part of this council?
There are a lot of memes about ‘life as a PhD student’. Some of these can be true for a lot of people, such as PhDs having trouble maintaining a work-life balance. That’s why, through the council, I want to help everyone enjoy the PhD journey while also excelling at it. By covering the concerns in our meetings, I am also more aware of potential difficulties during my PhD and I know how to resolve them in a professional manner. Finally, I learned how to make decisions as part of a team on behalf of our PhD community.
