I am a sixth-year PhD candidate in Economics at Western University. My primary fields of interest reside within the intersection of financial econometrics, machine learning, asset pricing, and risk management. I have one (joint) publication on Basel 3 market risk and its regulatory capital implications, for which I have been invited to present by the European Central Bank. I have a conditionally accepted (joint) machine learning paper that predicts intraday market returns, which was invited by the chief editors of the Journal of Financial Econometrics. In my job market paper, I Introduce a new measure of idiosyncratic tail risk using a high-frequency factor model, and theoretically demonstrate its time-aggregation properties and robustness to microstructure noise. I then resolve the idiosyncratic tail risk premium puzzle using my new measure and reveal its common factor.
