Chang's research centers on corporate governance mechanisms, specifically analyzing hedge fund activism (HFA) as a board function substitute. His thesis argues that HFA positively contributes to monitoring and strategic management while generating negative externalities, necessitating nuanced legislative frameworks that preserve benefits without blanket bans. His work bridges financial regulation, shareholder rights, and corporate board effectiveness within Anglo-American governance models.
He actively engages with the academic community through conference participation including an invited presentation at the University of Groningen's Corporate Governance Summer School (2023) and the Bocconi-Oxford Corporate Governance Workshop (2021). Chang co-convenes the Edinburgh Law School Commercial Law Reading Group and organized the 9th Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference (2023), demonstrating leadership in scholarly discourse.
