Zhang

Before joining the University of Michigan, he served as a senior attorney and economist at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and as a senior economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers. He remains engaged in policy as a member of the Financial Stability Advisory Council at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Drawing on these experiences, he combines legal analysis and economic methods to examine how financial markets function, why crises occur, and how regulation can promote a more stable and resilient financial system.

These interests also shape his teaching, which includes Contracts and Financial Regulation as well as seminars on the Federal Reserve and the future of money.
