SFI PhD graduate: Jijun Niu

Jijun Niu, a recent graduate of SFI and the University of Lausanne, started his new career as an Assistant Professor of Finance at Simon Fraser University in September.

Jijun Niu worked as an engineer in China before resuming studies for an MBA. This sparked an interest in research and teaching, ultimately leading him to a SFI Ph.D. in finance from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.

During his first semester at Simon Fraser University, Jijun taught courses in Finance Institutions. He told Swiss Finance Institute views "I have learned a great deal from my dissertation advisor, Prof. Erwan Morellec, about doing well both in research and in teaching."
