In 2019, Chang joined CDSE and completed his coursework, officially becoming a Ph.D. candidate in the summer of 2021. Early in his research, he focused on auctions with signaling. Currently, his primary interests also lie in financial economics, especially financial market microstructure, and applied auction theory.

In his free time, Chang enjoys hiking, cooking, and reading novels.
