EXPERIENCE
June 2013- Present
Assistant Vice President in Enterprise Risk management of Comerica Bank
Achievement:
• Develop multivariate time series models (VECM, ECM and ARIMA) for risk management and enhance the existing econometric models.
• Develop and present quantitative insight to multiple product teams.
• Perform rigorous assessment of data quality and assumptions relevance, and appropriate documentation especially where management judgment is used
• Responsible for reporting model development, documentation, and implementation
• Assisting model validation team in the assessment and mitigation of model risk
• Responsible for stress test for enterprise risk management
Jan. 2009 – August 2012
Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA. Doctoral Research, Perform advanced research in financial economics, international money and finance, risk management
Achievement:
• Successfully apply multivariate time series econometrics in Macroeconomics, and international money and finance to explain the economic activities efficiently. This insures the well specified model would lead the economic activities approaching to equilibrium.
• Forecasting GDP growth of China, GDP growth of China in 2012 is 7.8% and GDP growth of China in 2013 is 8.17%.These results capture the true effects of the economy.

• Created an econometric model for energy trading. Resolved the mis-specified econometric models SCE had faced for over forecasting and under forecasting.
• Generated a time series model for dynamic regression while using a sophisticated approach based on the most recent theoretical advanced econometric research.
• At least five years experience in quantitative market/business analysis
• Demonstrated ability to conduct econometric analysis of time series data and conduct analysis of large data sets
