About me

Hello, this is Lie Jen Houng. You may also call me Erik. I am born in Hong Kong and have been studying and working here since then for 31 years.

I obtained my undergraduated degree in 2013 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, major in Actuarial Science. After graduation, I worked in AXA and Deloitte as Actuarial Analyst and Consultant, and got my actuarial fellowship in 2016 from the Society of Actuaries (FSA).

In 2018, I decided to leave the actuarial industry and started a new career in the cryptocurrency industry. I have since then worked in Crypto.com both in the data team and research team. At the same year, I have also started my part time study in the University of Hong Kong, major in computer science.

My research interest include cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance, central bank digital currencies, cryptocurrency regulation, cryptocurrency insurance and machine learning on Bitcoin (or Ethereum) transaction graphs.
