Welcome to my personal website!

I recently received my PhD in January 2024 in the Department of Economics at Stanford University, where my advisor was Professor Guido Imbens. I was also mentored by Professor Alfred Galichon, Professor Han Hong, Professor Johan Ugander, and Professor  Yinyu Ye.

My research interests include econometrics, operations research, causal inference, optimization, data science, and particularly the interactions between them in theoretical, empirical, and policy questions.

Here is my CV. I will be on the 2024-2025 job market.
