I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Stern School of Business, New York University. I earned my Ph.D. from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University, where I also obtained a Master's degree in Engineering. Prior to that, I completed my undergraduate studies in Physics at Nanjing University.
My research focuses on the economic implications of emerging technologies, particularly AI algorithms, and their impact across various industries. I have a keen interest in exploring the role of algorithms in areas such as automated pricing, algorithmic lending, and algorithmic hiring, and how these technologies influence competition and welfare. I am passionate about leveraging my research to contribute positively to society.
