I obtained BSc (Actuarial Science) degree from the University of Hong Kong and got MMath (Actuarial Science) and PhD (Actuarial Science) degrees from the University of Waterloo. After PhD, I worked at the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science of HKU for 7 years (Assistant Professor, August 2010 - June 2016; Associate Professor, July 2016 - June 2017), and then joined UNSW as an Associate Professor in July 2017.
