I am a Research Affiliate at the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), affiliated with the TONOMUS Global Center for Digital and AI Transformation and the China Initiative. My research spans macro-finance and asset pricing, where I study financial intermediaries, inelastic markets, and monetary transmission, and business ecosystems and digital transformation, where I study how AI and ecosystem governance reshape corporate strategy.
I earned my M.A. in Computational Social Science with an Economics concentration from the University of Chicago, advised by Stefan Nagel. Much of my perspective on empirical asset pricing has been shaped by his approach to balancing theoretical precision with empirical depth. During my time at the University of Chicago, I was fortunate to serve as a Research Assistant at the Macro Finance Research Program at Chicago Booth, working under the supervision of Lars Peter Hansen, 2013 Nobel Laureate. Before Chicago, I completed concurrent degrees at Shenzhen University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Statistics and a Bachelor of Economics in Finance.
At IMD, I previously served as research associate and center lead of the China Initiative. My work with Mark Greeven at IMD significantly shaped my research approach. His grounded understanding of China's business environment taught me how to connect theoretical frameworks to institutional realities.
