RESEARCH ASSISTANTS
Huynh-Son works on power, industrial and transportation energy transition strategies at ESI, with a current focus on institutional evolution and regulatory innovations in China and Vietnam. He has previously worked at other research institutes and consultancies in Oxford, London and Singapore on trade policy and energy sanctions. He attended the London School of Economics and Political Science and graduated with a BSc in Economics and Economic History, focusing on the origins of financial and commodity markets in Medieval Europe.
He has also undergone three years of research training at National Taiwan University and Hanoi National University of Education to translate Ancient Chinese and Ancient Hán-Nôm Vietnamese into their modern forms, researching how states have historically used monetary policy and strategic grain stocks to enact trade sanctions or stabilise in the face of climate pressures. In the future, Huynh-Son hopes to contribute to the development of computational tools to make more accessible such periods of history, to develop these ideas, and contribute to modern theoretical research.
