Hi and welcome to my website,

My name is Mingjie Cao (曹明杰), and I’m a Ph.D. student
in Management at McGill University. My research interests
lie at the intersection of accounting, finance, and
geopolitics, with a focus on archival methods. Currently,
I’m exploring firm-level geopolitical expertise.
