What do you think of Lawrence Jin at Caltech/Cornell?
-
RA of Jon Ingersoll (was also TA during PhD at Yale) and Nick Barberis. He has very strong analytical skills (undergraduate Physics and Math from CalTech), but ideas are from Ingersoll and Barberis. CalTech is getting rid of finance people (CalTech don't consider finance a research field). He didn't had tenure, so moved. Thats all.

Not accurate. He left before he was up for tenure
-
How can he further differentiate himself?
Super smart guy but hasn’t really differentiated himself from his family tree. He was hired at Cornell in part because of a promise that Barberis would spend time there, I kid you not. That’s the world we live in — have a famous advisor or gtfo.

they brought in PJ from Kellogg

Cornellian here.
We are pretty excited to have him. He would be tenured a lot of places but the Johnson finance faculty don't want to tenure anybody so it brought him in as associate without tenure for now.
Quiet guy & a bit socially awkward but hes serviceable in the classroom and a very good citizen in the department, which is more than you can say for most of the tenured faculty
