I'm a third-year Ph.D. student in Information and Decision Sciences at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Economics and Finance from the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University.
My research interest focuses on the economics of AI and digital platforms. I study how AI and other emerging technologies reshape user behavior and platform strategy. A central theme of my current work is how AI in social environments (e.g., AI companions) affects human–human interaction and platform design. Methodologically, I combine causal inference, randomized experiments, analytical modeling, and machine learning.
