Welcome to my personal website!
I am a final-year PhD candidate at Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, where I am fortunate to be advised by prof. Damian Beil, prof. Jun Li, and prof. Jagadeesh Sivadasan. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Economics with a minor in Data Science from Fudan University, China.
My research employs empirical and experimental methods to explore the social impact of educational services such as Education Technology (EdTech), higher education, K-12 STEM education, and childcare, with a particular emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the delivery and outcomes of these services.
I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market.
To learn more about me, you can access my LinkedIn profile, SSRN homepage, Google Scholar, or send me an email. Always happy to meet new friends!
