Victor Wei Huang serves as Professor of Finance and John and Sue Dean Distinguished Professor at the Shidler College of Business, University of Hawaii, where he holds the Faculty Senate Presidency. His expertise spans empirical asset pricing, Chinese financial markets, and international finance with significant contributions to corporate governance research.
His academic credentials include a PhD in Finance from Georgia Institute of Technology (2001), MA in Economics from Georgia State University (1997), Master in Development Management from the Asian Institute of Management (1994), Graduate Certificate in American Studies from Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center (1990), and BA in Economics from Nanjing University (1987).
Huang's research explores the intersection of institutional frameworks and market behavior, with particular focus on Chinese financial systems.

Recent studies analyze ESG factors in bond markets, peer-to-peer lending dynamics, and linguistic influences on corporate cost behavior, demonstrating methodological rigor across empirical finance subfields.
His publication portfolio reveals consistent focus on emerging market finance, especially China's institutional reforms, alongside foundational work in asset pricing anomalies and international diversification. The research bridges theoretical models with real-world applications in banking, corporate governance, and market microstructure.
Notable honors include the Sun Yefang Financial Innovation Award (2015)—China's highest finance research honor—and multiple Shidler College awards: Summer Research Award (repeatedly), Faculty Research Award (2006, 2009), and Dennis Ching Teaching Award (2006). He also received the Excellent Paper Award (2023) and Best Paper Award (2018) at international finance conferences.
As an educator, Huang teaches advanced finance courses including Investments, Derivatives, and International Finance seminars while mentoring graduate researchers.
