I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HKUST Business School. I completed a master degree in marketing from Peking University and a PhD degree in marketing from University of Maryland, College Park. 

My research focuses on how social perception and motivation affect consumption and preferences. My work has been published in premier marketing journals, including the Journal of Consumer Research and the Journal of Marketing. In addition, I have presented at top-tier academic conferences over the years, such as the ACR Conference and the SCP Conference, and given research talks at many top universities around the globe.

I am currently reviewing for journals, including the Journal of Marketing Research, the International Journal of Research in Marketing, the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, and the Journal of Business Research

RA Opportunities: I am currently recruiting part-time research assistants (RAs). Both HKUST students and non-HKUST individuals with a valid work visa for Hong Kong are welcome to apply. If you are interested in potential opportunities, please send an email including the following information:
