• Lead valuation and structuring analytics for freight time charter, CoA, and long-term energy contracts across multiple vessel classes and market structures. • Calibrate stochastic freight-rate models to FFA markets and price embedded optionality using Black-76, Bachelier, Kirk, and Monte Carlo frameworks with backward induction. • Construct forward curves and implied term structures to support risk-neutral mark-to-market valuation and structured deal economics. • Develop volatility estimation and VaR frameworks for freight and refined products exposures under dynamic market conditions. • Build and formally backtest energy supply and demand forecasting models across crude and LNG markets with out-of-sample validation. • Design and deliver econometrics training for analysts across the US, Canada, Singapore, and the UK, focusing on predictive modeling for energy markets.

· Collaborated with instructors to prepare lab and homework sessions as a PhD student, ensuring effective knowledge transfer to students. · Primarily assisted in quantitative and energy-related courses, such as Econometrics, Energy Economics, and Electricity Industry Economics, requiring a robust understanding of math and statistics. · Catered to both undergraduate and graduate-level students, adapting teaching strategies according to varying academic levels and learning styles.

· Participated in an in-depth analysis of Europe's natural gas market balance, with a primary focus on Germany, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This was conducted in collaboration with Ken Medlock and Anna Mikulska. The project involved the development of a user-friendly natural gas market balance dashboard that forecasts storage levels based on various future scenarios. · Conducted a detailed study of natural gas supply security in Baltic Sea countries post Russia's invasion of Ukraine alongside Anna Mikulska. The research evaluated diversification strategies of natural gas suppliers and assessed the increased interconnectedness of the markets pre and post-invasion. · Prepared a comprehensive summary of prior U.S. LNG export studies commissioned by the Department of Energy (DOE), highlighting key findings and implications.

· Undertook rigorous research on electricity and LNG markets in South Korea, specifically analyzing the effects of market reforms on wholesale electricity markets. The analysis was primarily based on firm-level natural gas and electricity market data. · Investigated the impact of wind and solar expansion in Texas using a structural model of the wholesale market. By employing firm-hour level data, the research provided nuanced insights into the heterogeneous effects of different sources of renewable power.

· Undertook natural gas and electricity demand forecast projects commissioned by Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) and Korea Power Exchange (KPX), delivering insightful projections to guide their strategic decisions. · Managed data for natural gas and electricity consumption on a monthly basis to regularly update and refine both short- and long-term forecast models. · Compiled and prepared presentation slides for regular client meetings, reporting progress and conveying key findings effectively.
