# Contact

The fastest and preferred way to reach Wenzhi Ding (Dave) is by email at [wenzhi.ding@polyu.edu.hk](mailto: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](https://github.com/Wenzhi-Ding).

## Mailing address

Department of Finance, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR. Email is still strongly preferred over physical mail.
