I am currently an Associate Professor at the Shanghai Institute of Technology (SIT), a position I have held since 2023. I joined SIT as an Assistant Professor in 2021 after completing my PhD in Economics at Deakin University, Australia. 

During my doctoral studies, I was awarded the Chinese Government Scholarship for academic excellence. In my early career at SIT, I was honored with the Shanghai Pujiang Talent Program, recognizing my potential and contributions to research.
