About Me

Hello, I’m Hongzhang “Steve” Shao, a researcher who works with data and mathematical models.

I currently serve as a postdoctoral researcher at Chicago Booth, collaborating with Prof. Baris Ata. I earned my PhD at Georgia Tech, under the guidance of Prof. Anton J. Kleywegt. You can read my Curriculum Vitae for more information.

When I’m not coding, I read and write to stay mindful.
