About Me

Since July 2021, I have been a PhD candidate (advanced in July 2023) in the Economics Department at the University of Maryland, College Park(UMD). In 2019, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Brandeis University, MA, with a Bachelor's degree in Economics (highest honors) and Mathematics (honors). In summer 2024 and 2025, I interned at Amazon as an economist (Perfect Order Experience ECON team in 24, Prime ECON team in 25). From 2019 to 2021, I was a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC). My research interest lies in Industrial Organization, Microeconomic Theory,  Behavioral Economics and Applied Econometrics. 

I'm actively seeking full-time career opportunities for Summer 2026 and after.

I was born and raised in Beijing, China. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. The 2 cats live with my girlfriend in La Jolla, CA, and the 2 dogs reside with me in Lanham, MD.

I am a die-hard Boston Celtics fan who developed the love for the Red Sox and the Patriots since moving to MA in 2015. Beat LA!

I'm also an avid BBQ enthusiast. I currently own a Weber Kettle and a Weber WSM. I try to smoke and grill stuff at least once a week. My favorite cut to cook/eat is beef short ribs, and I'm open to all styles of BBQ!
