Contact

The fastest and preferred way to reach Wenzhi Ding (Dave) is by email at wenzhi.ding@polyu.edu.hk. He reads mail sent to this address directly and typically replies within a few business days.

What to contact him about

• Research collaboration — working papers, data, seminar or conference invitations, refereeing requests. Attach your paper or proposal; a short summary of why the collaboration fits his interests (FinTech, corporate governance, crypto markets, ESG) helps.
• Media and interviews — he comments on stablecoins, cryptocurrencies, DeFi, and ESG topics, and has been interviewed by outlets including HK Business and Sing Tao Daily. Mention your outlet, topic, and deadline.
• Students and advising — prospective PhD students should describe their background and research ideas in the email itself rather than attaching only a CV.
• Open-source tools — for bugs and feature requests on his projects (Zotero Direct, Translate Minimal, and others), please open a GitHub issue on the relevant repository so others benefit from the fix: github.com/Wenzhi-Ding.
