About Me

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics at The Ohio State University, advised by Professor Wuyang Hu .

My research focuses on food and consumer economics and agribusiness, with related interests in behavioral and experimental economics and environmental and resource economics. I study consumer preferences and decision-making in food markets, particularly in the areas of sustainability, hypothetical bias, and preference elicitation. My work uses discrete choice experiments, survey and experimental methods, and applied econometrics.

I am on the 2026–27 academic job market.
