Alex Kim
University of Chicago | Ph.D. Student in Accounting
👋 Hi! I'm Alex Kim.
I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in accounting at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. I received a Master's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting and a dual Bachelor's degree in Economics and Business Administration from Seoul National University. I passed all four subjects of Korean CPA exams in 2018.
My research mainly examines information processing of investors in the capital market. Recently I am interested in studying how large language models and artificial intelligence (AI) can assist investors' information processing and decision making. My research has been featured in major media outlets such as Bloomberg, Fortune, and Harvard Law School Blog.
