hi, that's me!

Mark Chiu Chong

About me
I am a mathematics graduate from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
I completed my Honours thesis under the supervision of Dr Hien Duy Nguyen.
Before that, I obtained undergraduate degrees in both mathematics and economics, with majors in statistics and econometrics.
I currently work as a researcher.
I love to think about and discuss ideas about how to build a better world.
