Yaming Gong - 宫亚明

Welcome! I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Finance at Temple University and am actively seeking job opportunities in Economist, Data Scientist, or Data Analyst roles within the private sector.

I have 5+ of empirical research experience in applied microeconomics (financial institutions and intermediation/small business lending). Last summer, I interned at Amazon as an Economist, where I assessed the impact of a new checkout technology on customer spending in Amazon's physical stores. This involved sophisticated causal inference techniques using both a staggered difference-in-differences (DiD) approach and Double Machine Learning (DML).

My expertise lies in delivering impactful, data-driven insights through rigorous quantitative analysis. I am proficient in causal inference, experimental design, and advanced machine learning techniques, with a strong command of Python and SQL.
