SOM professor receives Fulbright award
Kee H. Chung, Louis M. Jacobs Professor of Financial Planning and Control, and chair of the Department of Finance and Managerial Economics in the School of Management, has received a Fulbright Distinguished Lectureship Award.
The Fulbright award will fund Chung’s academic activities at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, next year. He will spend the spring 2011 semester teaching and conducting research on the subject of market microstructure, as well as conducting public lectures and other outreach activities.
This is Chung’s second Fulbright award; he received a Fulbright Senior Scholar Award for Lecture and Research in the 1995-96 academic year as a faculty member at the University of Memphis.
Chung joined the UB faculty in 2000 as the M&T Chair in Banking and Finance in the School of Management. He was named department chair in 2001 and the Jacobs Professor in 2007.
A native of Korea, Chung has served as the president of the Korea-America Finance Association and arranged a joint academic session for U.S. and Korean scholars at the 2009 Financial Management Association conference in Reno, Nev.
He recently was cited as one of the most prolific authors in finance literature over the past 50 years in a study published in the Journal of Finance Literature, ranking as No. 35 on a list of authors appearing most frequently in 26 core finance journals.
He serves as associate editor of Financial Review, co-editor of Asia-Pacific Journal of Financial Studies and on the editorial board of International Review of Applied Financial Issues and Economics.
In addition to the Fulbrights, Chung’s awards include the UB School of Management Dean’s Faculty Research Fellowship, the UB Provost’s Exceptional Scholar Sustained Achievement Award and the Mackyung-KAEA Economist Award, established by the Maeil Business Newspaper, the largest daily economic newspaper in Korea, to recognize outstanding scholarly work.
He earned a BS in industrial management from Hanyang University, Seoul; an MS in industrial engineering from The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul; and a PhD in finance from the University of Cincinnati.
