Hung Tran
Howdy!
My name is Hung Tran and I am currently pursuing an MBA in Sustainability at Bard College. I am also a product manager at CDP where I help maintain, upgrade, and create various data products. Prior to CDP and Bard, I graduated from Boston College in 2019 with a Bachelors in Biology and Minor in Environmental Studies. My main interests lie in Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Data Analysis.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, I worked (pro-bono) with small businesses and individuals on what their environmental impact is, how to review and measure it, and steps they can take to change this. These small businesses operate on a very thin profit margin so they cannot afford to hire a full-time sustainability analyst or engage in active ESG reporting, but they still wanted to help out however they can. The individuals on the other hand are more looking for information on their purchasing/life-style decision. This ranges from where to buy from and who to avoid shopping from to what products have the longest life cycle or can be repaired/repurposed in some way.
Other projects that I’m working on include:
-Webscraping data from social media sites and forums like Twitter and Reddit in order to build a sentiment/hype tracker for stocks. This will be combined with ESG data that I found from various reports/self-reported from companies in order to determine the prospects of short term investing and long term investing.
-Utilizing Google Trends in order to determine if there has been a shift ESG adoption and other environmental related terms. So far, most terms have remained steady in their search history since 2004, but searches for ESG has increased significantly.
