Welcome to my homepage! I joined the School of Finance, Renmin University of China as an Assistant Professor since Aug 2025. My research focuses on applied theory and empirical work in FinTech and digital finance, particularly in the areas of asset pricing and financial intermediation.
I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from Tsinghua University in 2025. During my doctoral studies, I was fortunate to visit Cornell SC Johnson Graduate School of Management (2024–2025) and the University of Hong Kong Business School (2023). I received my B.S. in Economics with a minor in Statistics from Tsinghua University in 2019.
