I am a sixth-year Ph.D. student in Financial Economics at Yale School of Management.

My research interests include behavioral finance, corporate finance, innovation, and entrepreneurship. I study how behavioral biases and incentives influence firm innovation, investment, and long-term value creation in public and private markets.

I will join Cornell SC Johnson College of Business as an Assistant Professor of Finance in July 2026.

I hold a BS in Computer Science and Business & Finance from New York University Shanghai and a Master of Finance from MIT Sloan. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I worked as a Research Professional at the Fama-Miller Center at Chicago Booth.
