Held on 5 October 2023, the “Conversation with my Econ Professors” event features Prof. Ernest Lai, a visiting Associate Professor of Economics. 

At the event, Prof. Lai told students about his journey from Hong Kong to the United States to pursue higher education and become a professor, shed light on the contrasts between daily life in the United States and Hong Kong, and provide a unique perspective on the joys and challenges of balancing academic and parenthood. Students took the opportunity to ask about postgraduate applications in the US. 

Thanks, Prof. Lai, for the inspiring talk!
