I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Economics at Zhejiang University of Technology, a Research Fellow in the Global Labor Organization (GLO), and a Workshop Alumnus of the Ronald Coase Institute. From October 2018 to March 2024, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Economics at Zhejiang University. From July 2022 to December 2022, I served a temporary position at Beijing Office of The People's Government of Zhejiang Province to improve the inter-regional resource allocation efficiency through digital transformation. From October 2024 to December 2025, I served a temporary position at Department of Social Development and Reform of the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission to work on higher education infrastructure projects, promote industry integration, and to support the acquisition and implementation of national policy-based funding. In May 2023, I was selected by the inaugural  SOLE Mentoring Program (mentors are Fabian Lange & Uta Schoenberg)  for the 2023-2024 year. In June 2024, I was invited to attend and present at the NBER Conference on Fertility and Declining Population Growth in High-Income Countries (organizers are Melissa Kearney & Phillip Levine). In July 2024, I was selected by the inaugural Government and Economics Training Workshop at the Tsinghua University.  In December 2024, I was invited to attend and present at the NBER Conference on Place-Based Policies and Entrepreneurship (organizers are Sabrina T. Howell, Josh Lerner, and David T. Robinson). In January 2025, I was invited to attend and present at the AEA annual meeting.

In January 2026, I was invited to attend and present at the AEA annual meeting, as well as to participate in the AEA Mentoring and Networking Luncheon chaired by Pascaline Dupas.

I obtained the Ph.D. in Economics from University of Nottingham (2018), M.A. in Labor Economics from Zhejiang University (2013), and B.S. in Statistics from Zhejiang University of Finance & Economics (2011). 

I am interested in how individuals and firms respond to (relaxation of) population control policies. I am currently working on the consequences of (reductions in) migration barriers, raising retirement ages, as well as the relaxation of China's one-child policy.
