I am a PhD student in Finance at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland. My research interests mainly focus on financial econometrics and empirical asset pricing. I am particularly interested in how uncertainty, model structure, and estimation error shape financial decision-making and asset pricing inference.

Before beginning my PhD, I received an MPhil in Economics and an MSc in Economics from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and a BA in Finance from Nanjing University.
