I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Southern California. Before joining USC, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Finance at Tsinghua University and worked as a pre-doc researcher at London Business School.
I am a micro labor economist studying how organizational decisions and social institutions shape hiring and labor-market opportunities. My job market paper shows that employers' choices about when to act change which applicants receive consideration, even when qualifications are held fixed. This finding motivates my broader research on how workers reach employers and how the organization of work shapes employers' hiring needs and constraints. Leveraging novel data and frontier methods, I aim to deepen our understanding of the past, present, and future of labor markets.

I am also a musician/novelist/movie critic/cook/makeup artist, in case you want to know :)
