Profile

Introduction:

Abdul Rauf is currently a full professor at the School of Management Engineering of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. Rauf is engaged in research in fields such as business economics, energy economics, environmental economics, stock market volatility, tourism economics, and ICT. He has published over 60 SSCI, SCI, EI and international papers in renowned journals. I received the National Natural Science Foundation of China's Foreign Young Scholars Program in 2024.

My vision is to address market dynamics and predict future market behavior through in-depth study of the financial field (energy economy, environmental issues and financial markets). For this reason, I hope to seek a research position related to market dynamics in a well-known university or research institution. In this position, I can fully utilize the knowledge and skills I have mastered to publish academic papers, hoping to help the research institute continue to enhance its reputation. At the same time, I hope to constantly improve my own research level.

My interests: Economics, finance, financial development and investment, environmental policy and law, energy economics, decarbonization, the Belt and Road Initiative

My assignment is to delinto the financial domain (energy economics, environmental issues, and financial markets) in order to respond to market dynamism and predict behavioral flows. Obtain a professional position in the appropriate field of a dynamic and reputable institution, contribute my knowledge and skills to the advancement of the institution, and provide opportunities for growth and research progress.
