Welcome to my website. I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at HKUST.

I will be on the job market in the academic year 2025-26.

I use the big-data approach to study macroeconomics, development economics, and international economics. In my projects, I apply cutting-edge computational tools to big geospatial data to map economic activities where traditional data are limited. This approach provides a micro-foundation for macroeconomics studies. It helps draw policy implications on important contemporary economic issues, such as inequality, migration, education, urbanization, international trade, and climate change.

My current research projects focus on:

• Clean energy investment and air pollution
• International monetary policy spillover
• Urban expansion and the construction sector
• Education and income inequality
