Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Peking University, Guanghua School of Management, Department of Business Statistics and Econometrics.

My research focuses on causal inference, econometrics, and policy learning.

I obtained my PhD in 2023 from the Economics Department at UC San Diego, where I had the privilege of being co-advised by Professor Graham Elliott and Professor Yixiao Sun. Prior to that, I received my BA in Economics and BS in Mathematics from Wuhan University.
