About Me

Hi, Nice to meet you! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Information Systems and Operations Management at the Warrington College of Business, University of Florida, advised by Dr. Liangfei Qiu and Dr. Shu He. I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market.

My research examines behavior and governance on digital platforms and the economics of AI and emerging technologies. I study the central actors of the digital economy, users who contribute content, creators who build audiences, developers who supply applications, and organizations that adopt new technologies. I use causal econometrics, machine learning, and online experiments with large-scale data.

Before my doctoral studies, I earned a master’s degree in Information Systems Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and I worked for a year as a full-time data scientist at Tencent Music Entertainment.

At the University of Florida, I have taught QMB 4702 (Managerial Operations Analysis 2) and served as a teaching assistant for graduate courses spanning managerial statistics, AI methods in business, data visualization, and information systems.
