Wanying (Kate) Huang

Hi, and welcome! I just received my Ph.D. in social science (economics) from the California Institute of Technology, advised by Omer Tamuz. In September 2024, I will be joining Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, as an Assistant Professor of Economics.

I am interested in microeconomic theory, with a focus on information, social learning, and its applications.
