Fei Gao

I'm a PhD student in Economics at Waseda University in Tokyo, working under the supervision of Kozo Ueda (上田晃三).

My research focuses on macroeconomics and household behavior. I also work with large-scale commercial bank data — see the Waseda CDS announcement (in Japanese).

Outside of research, I am a classical cellist.
