I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the China Academy for Rural Development and School of Public Affairs, Zhejiang University. I'm visiting the Rural Education Action Program (REAP) at Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions (SCCEI) this year. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in 2023. I am currently on the job market in 2025. 

My research focuses on development and agricultural economics. My recent work studies migration and rural land transfer, agricultural mechanization through service purchases, and the evaluation of poverty alleviation policies in China.
