Van Nguyen Thi

About

I am a PhD Candidate in Finance at Victoria University of Wellington, with a strong background in financial analysis, research, and applied problem-solving. My research focuses on climate finance, carbon markets, emissions trading schemes (ETS), climate regulation, and market behaviour, using quantitative methods and large financial and administrative datasets.

Alongside my research, I have experience in university teaching, stakeholder coordination, and academic administration, including coordinating across multiple stakeholders and supporting faculty leadership. My experience spans regulatory analysis, policy evaluation, and applied empirical research. I value intellectual curiosity, resilience, continuous learning, and collaboration, and enjoy turning rigorous analysis into clear insights that support policy and real-world decision-making.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing, jogging, hiking, badminton, and dancing, as well as exploring different cultures and histories. I try to approach life with curiosity, optimism, and an open mind, and I enjoy new experiences that challenge me to learn, grow, and see the world from different perspectives.
