Serjin Kim

Hi! I am Serjin Kim, a first-year Master’s student in Finance at MIT Sloan School of Management. Before MIT, I studied economics at Seoul National University (SNU). At SNU, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Sanghack Lee on causal machine learning, Prof. Jaewon Choi on corporate finance, and Prof. David Schoenherr on empirical finance.

I consider myself both an econ and a tech person, and I’m fascinated by how the two shape and advance each other. My research interests center on financial markets, from using econometrics and modern machine learning/deep learning to understand them to exploring how emerging technologies reshape their dynamics.

Outside of research, I enjoy baking, exploring art exhibitions, and playing tennis. I’m also a competitive kendo athlete.

I’m always exploring new research questions and directions, and I love exchanging ideas. I’m always up for a coffee! Feel free to reach out at serjin@mit.edu.
