I received my PhD from Deakin University, Australia in 2021 and now I am an assistant professor at Shanghai Institute of Technology. My research is mainly related to International trade and applied economics. I received several awards during my study and early career stage, such as Chinese government scholarships and the Shanghai Pujiang Talent Program.
