Biography

Dr. Hao is an Associate Professor at the Warren Centre for Actuarial Studies and Research, University of Manitoba. He got his bachelor's degrees both in mathematics and economics from Peking University, China in 2002. He then pursued his graduate studies in North America and obtained his master's and Ph.D. degrees in statistics from University of Toronto and University of Iowa, respectively.

Dr. Hao is interested in problems which have direct applications to insurance and finance and are theoretically interesting as well, particularly in the fields of risk theory, financial risk management, and applications of stochastic processes. His research papers are published in some first-class journals in applied probability and actuarial science, such as Journal of Applied Probability, Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, and ASTIN Bulletin.
