My name is Zhikun Liu (people usually call me Dennis). I am currently working as a research director for Great-West Investments® and Empower Retirement™ in Denver. I have been in academia for quite a long time and now just finished my first year working in the financial industry. I have obtained seven degrees (Ph.D., Masters, and B.S.) in six different majors (Mathematics, Economics, Financial, Personal Financial Planning, Computer Science, and English) and also hold the Certified Financial Planner® certification.

I enjoy learning and am grateful to be able to use what I have learned to serve others. I have just received 3.5 million dollars funding from our company to develop a financial planning engine to serve the 9 million clients that our company has.
