There is an ancient Chinese motto from the pre-Qin dynasty, saying "It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to nurture a generation."  

十年树木，百年树人。——《管子》

Welcome to my personal website!

I am an Assistant Professor of Management Science and Operations at London Business School. Before joining LBS, I have earned my PhD in Business and Economics from Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Fudan University, China. 

My research is dedicated to advancing equitable opportunity for the younger generation and underserved populations, with a focus on uncovering and addressing disparities that have long been overlooked by industry practitioners and policymakers in contexts such as Education Technology (EdTech), AI of Education, higher education, and childcare. I employ a variety of empirical and behavioral methods such as econometrics, field experiments, applied machine learning, and natural language processing.

To learn more about me, you can access my faculty page, CV, LinkedIn profile, SSRN homepage, Google Scholar, or send me an email. I am actively seeking research collaborators from both industry and academia!
