Jinpeng Li
MPhil Finance alumnus
Prior to joining the MPhil Finance cohort at Cambridge, Jinpeng was a distinguished graduate from University College London, where he studied mathematics with economics following his initial study in electronic and electrical engineering. During his bachelor's, Jinpeng developed a solid quantitative foundation, and has published research in the field of applied mathematics while engaging in finance research and interning at various investment banks and asset management firms. Having ranked top in his MPhil Finance cohort, Jinpeng is now continuing his research and pursuing his PhD (Finance pathway) at Cambridge Judge Business School.
Jinpeng: “My choice to attend the MPhil in Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School was driven by the programme’s unique amalgamation of rigorous, research-oriented academic curriculum and the opportunity for close engagement with the preeminent finance faculty. The curriculum’s modules have endowed me with a comprehensive and nuanced comprehension of finance, traversing a multitude of research domains along with the application of the associated empirical methodologies. Moreover, interactions with the faculty members have been exceptionally enlightening. The professors, who are not only experts in their respective fields but also remarkably approachable, have provided invaluable mentorship in shaping my research interests and academic trajectory.”
