In this podcast, Professor of Economics and Statistics Chow Hwee Kwan from the SMU School of Economics, discusses the key findings of her research on the growing financial linkages in the region, and how it enhances the understanding of the interactions among national stock markets.

The conversation covers how Mohammed first fell in love with Java in college, and he's been contributing to the community ever since. Mohammed says it's "mind blowing" what happens when you get a bunch of  Java developers in the same room because they are so passionate about the technology and the capabilities that it offers.
