Le "Tim" Dong

I am fifth-year PhD student with a background in programming and computational finance. I'm on the 2025-2026 job market. 

Pre-Ph.D life, I worked as an auditor and served a hedge fund as a part-time consultant. I earned my MSc. of Computational Finance from the Rochester Institute of Technology. My research interests include cryptoeconomics (cryptocurrencies and their economic systems), decentralized finance, and governance in decentralized systems. I often utilize game theory and econometrics in my research. My papers have been featured at prestigious conferences such as the CBER, the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance Annual Meeting, the Crypto Economics Security Conference (UC Berkeley), the FMA, the SFA, the Australasian Finance & Banking Conference, the ToDeFi Conference, the AEA Poster Session, and the SWFA.

I'm building the most comprehensive voting and DeFi dataset in Finance. Feel free to reach out if you're interested!
