Welcome to my personal site!
I am pursuing a PhD in Economics at Oxford University. My research interests span the economics of innovation, industrial policy, and international trade. I am part of the Industrial Policy Group, and a consultant for the World Bank Development Research Group.
In September 2025, I will join the Economist Program at the International Monetary Fund.
Previously, I was a Fellow at Oxford Global Priorities Institute, an IMF intern, and a visiting researcher at the Bank of Finland (BOFIT). I hold an MPhil in Economics from Oxford University and a BA in Economics from University College London.
My roots lie in a cozy, wintery town in northeast China.
