About

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at Dickinson College. I am on research leave in the Spring 2024 semester.

In the fall of 2024, I will join the Ness School of Management and Economics at South Dakota State University.

I received a PhD in economics from University of Kentucky (2020), an MS in economics from Tufts University (2015) and a BS in economics from Chongqing Technology and Business University (2013).
