Welcome to my website!
I am an assistant professor at the School of Economics at Fudan University starting in 2021 Fall.
My research focuses on Macroeconomics. I chiefly combine micro-level data with structural models to study various topics about innovation, economic growth and Chinese economy.
I received the P.h.D degree in economics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2021.
