This is my portfolio website!

My main research interests are monetary policy, financial markets, and the macroeconomy.

Currently exploring Markov-switching yield curve models under the guidance of Dean Jun Ma.

My past research experiences have focused on intergenerational mobility in the United States and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
