 My name is Hao Liang. I'm a system professor of finance at Singapore Management University. I graduated from Tilburg University in 2015. The five years I spent at Tilburg has been most impactful. I not only gained rigorous training in finance, economics, economics, but also had close relationship with the faculty there. For example, I met with my supervisor every week and also talked to other faculty members very frequently. I not only talk about research, but also discuss a lot about our personal life. During my PhD, I also spent one year at Harvard University as a visiting researcher and had a chance to collaborate with the faculty there. This has been tremendously helpful for my research and my work turned into publications at Journal of Finance, Journal of Energy Economics, Journal of International Business Studies, et cetera, during and right after my PhD study. Looking back, I think I will still choose Tilburg to do my PhD. For me, what's more important is to learn and to work in a relaxing and collaborative environment. And I believe Tilburg provides me such an environment. My main advice to prospective students is to pursue what you yourself think is interesting and important in research rather than what others think is trendy or can lend you a decent job. I think pursuing academic career is more about discovering the truth and understanding the society. And these are exactly the spirits of Tilburg University.
