Welcome to my personal website!

I am a 5th-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. Before I came to UM, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Economics with minor in Data Science from Fudan University, China.

My research broadly focuses on using empirical and experimental methods to address managerial and operational issues in a variety of education settings, such as EdTech, higher education, K-12, and childcare. The goal of my research is to improve the welfare of the younger generation, families, and educators through more effective and inclusive delivery of care and education services. 

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!
