Zhigang Feng

Last fall, the UNO College of Business Administration welcomed nine new full-time faculty members — one of the largest classes in college history.


Dr. Zhigang Feng, Assistant Professor of Economics
Ph.D., Economics, University of Miami

Originally from China, Zhigang Feng has enjoyed an extensive career in academia. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Miami, he spent three years in Switzerland as a post-doc researcher at the University of Zurich. Later, he worked as a visiting professor at Purdue and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Feng decided to become a professor after witnessing the economic growth in his home country. This fascination launched his career in economics and academia.

Outside the classroom, Feng stays busy with his growing family. He also enjoys collecting artwork and experiencing the great outdoors by hiking and fishing.

Read on to learn more about Dr. Feng.
