学术成果

目前共发表四十篇国际期刊学术论文和专著。其主要科研成果包括多个方面：

（1）投资型保险的风险管理技术：包括万能险、投资连结年金、变额年金等养老保险产品的定价、内生期权、责任准备金、动态对冲、风险测度等课题。其专著《投资连结保险的计量风险管理入门》是文献中首部系统阐述计量方法进行风险管控制技术的著作，已被列为北美精算师协会正精算师《数理金融》考试指定教材之一。

（2）社会保障及相关政策分析：美国联邦以及很多州的养老金立法往往基于专家政策建议但缺乏实证数据分析。由于养老金政策具有几代人影响周期，量化分析日益成为公共政策的理论基础。受伊利诺伊州众议院人事与年金委员会邀请，合作设计了多项最优结构化债券方案，出席伊州众议院针对养老金债券举行的公众听证会，并接受众议院议员咨询。

（3）区块链应用的商业模式：虽然在工程学中区块链的“硬件基础”研究较多，但在商业应用中衍生出的各种创新模式背后的“软件技术”数理分析较少，尤其是代币经济学的金融风险研究。其团队研究了基于区块链技术的新风险分摊商业模式，包括虚拟货币权益质押方式等有别与传统基于大数法则的精算定价是否能够有效反应风险实际程度、通过委托投票共识方式能否有效核保核赔等问题。其研究获得多个最佳论文奖，其著作《去中心化保险：商业模式的技术基础》成为北美精算师协会正精算师资格考试《公司财务与企业风险管理基础》指定教材之一。

（4）公共风险的防控机制：全世界面临诸多自然与人为灾害的共同风险，诸如人口老龄化、气候变化、大流行病等。如何有效地通过市场化机制和社会治理来减弱其灾难性影响成为全球共同可持续发展议题。以大流行病为例，其工作包括结合流行病医学模型与精算方法论来研究稀缺资源规划与储备、地域与时间分配、医疗保险补偿等应急管理、市场化机制以及公共卫生政策对大流行病防控的影响。

业界经历

致力于推进学术科研与产业发展结合。现为北美精算师协会科研决策委员会副主席，曾担任北美精算师协会教育与研究组理事会主席。曾主持多个北美精算师协会、北美产险精算师协会委托的行业发展研究、主持和参与了英特尔、思科等多家企业资助的联邦学习、隐私保护等研究。创立了非营利性组织In2Sure Foundation，致力于推广分布式金融科技与风险管控技术的教育与商业应用。

Educational Background

Feng received his Doctor of Philosophy in Actuarial Science from the University of Waterloo in Canada, Master of Science in Actuarial Mathematics from Concordia University in Canada, both Bachelor of Economics in Insurance and Risk Management and Bachelor of Science in Statistics from Nankai University in China.

Feng is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and a Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst with the Global CERA Association.

Work Experience

Feng is currently a Chair Professor in the School of Economics and Management in Tsinghua University. Prior to that, he was a Professor of Mathematics, Statistics and Industrial Engineering, State Farm Companies Foundation Endowed Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the United States. Feng was also the Faculty Lead for the Finance and Insurance Sector at the University of Illinois System’s Discovery Partnership Institute, responsible for promoting and coordinating research collaboration and technology transfer with the State of Illinois and Chicago’s financial industry. While working in Illinois, he founded the Illinois Risk Lab, which provides experiential learning opportunities in areas of risk analytics for students from all backgrounds and consulting services to corporate partners. Feng led the development of Actuarial and Risk Management Sciences at the University of Illinois, establishing a comprehensive education system for both professional training and practical research, ranging from undergraduate to doctoral degree programs. Feng also promoted the integration of education and research with other academic units on risk sciences and emerging technology. He led the creation of the MS degree program in Predictive Analytics and Risk Management jointly supported by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Gies College of Business. He also led the development of a cross-campus research center on risk sciences at the University of Illinois.

Feng served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Visiting Professors to the Institute of Computing and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University, ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research at the University of New South Wales, Technical University of Munich supported by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts, a Distinguished Professor at the College of Finance and Statistics in Hunan University.

Feng currently serves as a Co-Editor of a premier actuarial science academic journal North American Actuarial Journal, and an Associate Editor or an Editor for several other international academic journals including Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, Annals of Actuarial Science, Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability, Quantitative Finance and Economics.

Publications

Feng published over forty papers on leading academic journals in actuarial science, quantitative finance and applied probability. His main contributions include but are not limited to:

(1) Computational risk management of equity-linked insurance: pricing, embedded option, reserving and risk capitals, hedging, etc. His book, An Introduction to Computational Risk Management of Equity-Linked Insurance, systematically exploited computational methods both from current practices and academic research for risk management and has been included as a designated textbook for the Society of Actuaries’ fellowship exam, Quantitative Finance.

(2) Pension and policy analysis: Regulations and laws on retirement systems in the United States are often based on lobbying and qualitative opinions. It is increasingly important to base legislation on quantitative and fact-based analysis. Feng was invited by the State of Illinois’ House of Representatives Personnel and Pension Committee to perform actuarial analysis for a legislative proposal for pension obligation bonds. Feng served as an expert witness in a public hearing at the state capitol in 2018.

(3) Decentralized Finance and Insurance: While there is a rich literature on the engineering infrastructure of blockchain technology, less is known for the quantitative basis of tokenomics for DeFi and DeIn applications, particularly in areas of market risks. Feng studied the mechanisms of emerging business models on decentralized risk sharing, such as pricing by stake, proxy voting for underwriting and claims, etc. His work received several best paper awards. The book, Decentralized Insurance: Technical Foundation of Business Models, has been designated as a textbook for the Society of Actuaries’ fellowship exam, Foundations of Corporate Finance and Enterprise Risk Management.

(4) Market and governance solutions for global risks: The world faces common risks from natural and anthropogenic disasters, such as population aging, climate change, pandemics, etc. It is an increasingly critical and complex issue for governments and corporations around the world to develop market and governance solutions in response to these global challenges. Feng’s work included the use of actuarial techniques and epidemiological models to study the planning, stocking, temporal-spatial allocations of critical medical resources, the impact of healthcare, disaster responses and other public health policies on pandemics.

Industry Experience

Feng is a passionate advocate for academic-industry partnerships through his involvement at professional organizations and entrepreneurial development. Currently serving as the Vice Chair of the Society of Actuaries’ Research Executive Committee. Served as the Chair of the Society of Actuaries’ Education and Research Section Council and a member of the InsurTech Advisory Council. He provided consulting services to many enterprises and startups. Led several consulting projects for the Society of Actuaries, the Casualty Actuarial Society on industry-wide surveys and research studies on emerging technologies. Led or participated in several research projects with industry leaders such as Intel Labs and Cisco on privacy preservation and federated learning. Founded the non-profit organization, In2Sure Foundation, whose mission is to promote the education, science and technology development of distributed technologies and risk management.
