Financial research, data analysis & entrepreneurship

I am Yicheng Gao, an undergraduate in Financial Engineering at Nanjing University Business School. Admitted to its academic master’s program in Finance, I expect to enroll in September 2027. Alongside financial research, I contribute to interdisciplinary empirical projects and entrepreneurship in technology and education.

01 / Research

Start with a question. Understand the risk.

From money markets to the yield curve: how risk is measured, and where the conclusions apply.

Research / 02

Sparse rebalancing and estimation uncertainty in yield-curve hedging

Research question & scope

Using China’s government bond yield curve, I compare fixed, rolling, monthly, and uncertainty-triggered risk-weight updates to study the trade-offs between residual risk, adjustment magnitude, and curve-shape exposure.

Approach

Curve-risk experiments · Rolling estimation · Rebalancing rules

Research boundaries

A standardized risk experiment; it does not establish trading returns or actual transaction-cost savings.

Repo-rate spreads, month-end patterns, and government bond yields

Research question & scope

An empirical study of the R007–DR007 spread, examining central and upper-tail characteristics, month-end differences, and contemporaneous associations with short- and long-maturity government bond yield changes.

Approach

Distribution analysis · Conditional quantiles · Contemporaneous associations

Research boundaries

Descriptive historical research; statistical associations are not policy causation or trading signals.

Abstract illustrations · Research summaries

02 / Experience

Where research meets practice.

Turning data into understanding, and bringing ideas into real work.

Research assistant

Feb 2026 — Present

ShanghaiTech University

I support Professor 陈佳 in empirical analyses of healthcare data, surveys, and behavioral experiments. Using Python, R, and Stata, I work on data integration, variable construction, statistical modeling, and complex-survey analysis, and support replication, literature review, and research visualizations.

Entrepreneurship in technology & education

2024

北京知临高科科技有限公司

I began entrepreneurial work in 2024 and participated in founding the company with friends in 2025. My contributions include product development, communications, operations, mathematics competition education, book development, MWORKS outreach, and exploratory work in photonics and chips.

Entrepreneurial work began in 2024; the company was founded in 2025.
