I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at Boston University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Bart Lipman.

My research develops theories at the AI-economics interface. I develop microeconomic theories (game theory, information design, mechanism design) and learning algorithms for (1) human-AI interactions and (2) agentic decision-making, where AI agents make decisions, take actions, and learn from the environment autonomously.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained my S.M. in Health Data Science from Harvard University, where I was advised by Professor Brent Coull. I completed my bachelor’s studies in finance and statistics at Sun Yat-sen University.
