In these times of transformation and imbalance bridge-builders and inspiring intellectuals who are able to walk some miles in somebody else’s boots are urgently sought-after. It is therefore our pleasure that Professor HONG Yongmiao has accepted his nomination as Member of the CDA Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Hong is a prototype of a bridge-builder for peaceful co-existence – not only between the cultures of China and the West but also between the world of academia and business. A distinguished professor of an US ivy-league university – Cornell University in Ithaca, New York - and a Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences alike he also translated his theoretical knowledge into practice of global financial industry as a top-manager with the world’s largest bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Since then he serves as an Independent Non-executive Director with China Everbright Bank.

Besides his scientific career Mr. Hong has a global footprint in the financial industry serving until 2019 for seven years as an Independent Non-executive Director with the world’s largest bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). In 2013 he founded together with German colleagues at Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 1792 “High Dimensional Nonstationary Time Series”.
