Bio

My name is Min, and I'm a PhD candidate pursuing a degree in Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I was born in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, but I grew up and spent most of my life in Los Angeles. I received my bachelors of science from UCLA in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics with a specialty in Economics and Finances. Since 2011, I've been tutoring peers, colleagues, and students in various subjects, ranging from life and physical sciences to economics and statistics. I am a strong proponent of education, and I believe everyone can achieve success. In my teachings, I emphasize the value of critical thinking beyond our comfort zone, diversifying our knowledge, and applying them in a practical, real-life setting.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

How politics influence the stock market

We will look at the past stock market crashes and panics to determine a link between political events and the U.S. economy in a non-partisan way.

Demystifying Inflation

Inflation is defined in so many ways, ranging from de-valuing of the U.S. currency to prices of goods and services unable to catch up with high demand and low supply. We will discuss how to measure inflation, whether inflation is truly "good" for the economy, and how to regulate the monetary supply when inflation goes wrong.

Fundamental Analysis of Company XYZ

Every publicly traded companies in the stock exchange are required to file 10-K annual reports, which provides insights on the company's financial health and statements. We can perform a deep-dive fundamental analysis of any companies listed in the stock exchange, calculate future revenue growth/forecast, as well as measure stock valuation using conventional methods, such as the discounted cash flow
