About
I am an Assistant Professor of Finance in the Teaching Stream at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, where I also serve as Director of Teaching Innovation at FinHub: The Financial Innovation Lab.
At Rotman, my teaching prioritizes intuition and theory over mechanics for technical and non-technical audiences alike. With support from FinHub, I have run a workshop for colleagues on building course materials with AI writing assistants, re-developed a Python prerequisite course for graduate students, and recently hired a research assistant to begin pedagogical research about AI in classrooms.
I am currently developing two exciting opportunities for students: an elective course on appropriate and efficient use of AI in finance; and a study-abroad program about international finance, economic growth, and trade. I welcome conversations with students and faculty about both! Further details, initial offer date, and study abroad location are TBA pending university approvals.
My research is in computational macro-finance and mathematical finance.
Originally from Long Island, NY, I now live in Toronto with my wife Sae-Seul Park and our cats.
