Quyen Nguyen completed all requirements for her PhD thesis. Her research focus was on climate risk in financial institutions and the credit market. In her thesis, she examined transition risks and physical risks on the financial system, which involved a mix of cross-discipline techniques including credit risk analysis, spatial modelling, machine learning prediction and financial stress testing. Quyen’s supervisors are AP Diaz-Rainey, Dr Duminda Kuruppuarachchi and Dr Matthew McCarten (University of Oxford).
Quyen is now employed as an Assistant Research Assistant at CEFGroup, University of Otago, and will soon start a 3-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship funded by a Royal Society of New Zealand’s Marsden Fund grant on climate-change risks to property values and the related implications for financial stability. Quyen will be graduating in August.
