Hello, I'm Umang.
I am a PhD candidate in finance at the University of Iowa, and an academic visitor at the Bank of England. I spent Fall 2024 at the Harvard Business School.
My research interests include financial intermediation, asset pricing, market microstructure, and household finance. Currently, I am studying frictions in the international supply of the US dollar. My other ongoing projects explore the role of financial intermediaries in over-the-counter markets, and information asymmetries in non-intermediated markets.
Before graduate school, I worked at the Fixed Income and Foreign Exchange Markets division of J.P. Morgan, and graduated from the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow.
