Thanks for visiting my website.
I am an economics PhD student at Princeton. My research interests are at the intersection of empirical industrial organization and political economy. I am affiliated with the Research Program in Political Economy and co-organize the student lunch for 2025-2026.
Before joining Princeton in 2024, I studied math and economics at Renmin University and worked as a predoctoral fellow at Harvard on health inequality research. When I’m not working, I watch quiet, slow-paced movies that are often very sad. I mentor undergraduate students from underrepresented groups in economics, too.
