I am a Post-doctoral Fellow at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I obtained my PhD in 2024 from Peking University HSBC Business School.
My main research fields are macroeconomics and macro-finance. My current research pursues three themes: (1) the drivers and impacts of firm endogenous information production; (2) the implications of behavioral biases on macro-finance; (3) the macroeconomic impacts of the data economy.
