My research lies in Experimental Economics, Behavioral Economics, and Game Theory, combining theoretical models with laboratory experiments to study decision-making and strategic interactions, with a focus on communication and coordination under incomplete information.

I am fortunate to be advised by my thesis committee: Prof. Wooyoung Lim, Yeon-Koo Che, Rui Tang, and Songfa Zhong.

I received my M.Phil. in Economics from HKUST (2023), M.Sc. in Economics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (2021), and B.A. in Economics from Renmin University of China (2019). I have been a visiting scholar at Purdue University (hosts: Timothy Cason and Matthew Kovach) and the California Institute of Technology (host: Marina Agranov).
