Teaching

• Nominated for the 2023 Graduate Student Teaching Award by the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, Georgetown University

• Nominated for the 2022 Graduate Student TA Award by the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, Georgetown University

• I am currently accepting graduate (Master’s) students at my affiliation (we only enroll Master’s and Ph.D. students), and occasionally co-supervise Master’s and Ph.D. students from other universities in Beijing. 

• If your research interests overlap with mine (see this page for details) and you would like to work with me, please contact me via email — attaching your CV is preferred. Students from other affiliations must gain approval from their own advisors.

• I usually designate one weekday as the student day. For Fall 2026, it is Thursday. Feel free to schedule office hours with me during 3pm-5pm on that day :-)

• For work–life balance, I prefer to be contacted by email (rather than through social media or messaging apps). I generally respond within 24–48 hours on weekdays and within 48–72 hours on weekends, public holidays, or while traveling for conferences.
