Welcome to my homepage! I am a PhD student in economics at Tsinghua University, and currently a visiting student at Cornell SC Johnson Graduate School of Management.
My primary research interest lies in FinTech, digital finance, and digital asset, and in particular the question: How do / will / should technologies reshape trust and so the financial activities? I am also interested in financial intermediary, asset pricing, and Chinese economy.
I am on the job market during the 2024-2025 academic year.
