Summary
Sangheum Cho is an economist with eight years of experience blending global macro analysis (FX and rates) with asset-level empirical research, currently informing policy at the Bank of Korea. He applies machine learning, large language models, and advanced econometrics to identify mispricing, risk premia, and cross‑asset spillovers, work grounded in prior roles at the World Bank and research labs. His background spans academic rigor—a PhD in Finance from KAIST and a visiting scholarship at UIUC—to market-focused term-structure and FX surveillance, including analyses of crypto cross-border flows. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex quantitative models into concise policy briefings for senior decision-makers, and his research has drawn external media attention beyond technical circles.
