Associate Professor of Finance (without tenure) at Saïd Business School
University of Oxford
Welcome! I am Shumiao Ouyang, an Associate Professor of Finance at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and a Tutorial Fellow in Management at Wadham College, Oxford.
I have a Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University, an M.S. in Finance from Peking University, and a dual B.S. in Biology and B.A. in Economics from Tsinghua University.
My research studies FinTech, Household Finance, AI, Digital Payment, and Data Privacy, especially the emerging field of BigTech Finance. I collaborate with leading BigTech firms such as Ant Group and Alibaba to explore the evolving landscape of finance and technology. I aim to uncover the complex interactions and impacts of our rapidly digitizing world on the economy and society.
I co-direct the Financial Wellness Research Laboratory at Oxford Saïd with Professor Pinar Ozcan. Supported by a £1.5 million donation from Capital.com, this five-year initiative combines behavioral finance research with industry collaboration to improve global financial literacy and consumer financial decision-making.
Alongside my research, I am building XSci, a preprint platform where a paper's reviews, from AI systems and from paid domain experts, are published alongside it, with the authors' replies on the same page. It comes from a problem I keep running into as an author and a referee: science has never produced so much, and never checked so little of it. It is an independent company rather than a University project.
