Welcome to my website! I am an Economist at the International Monetary Fund Shanghai Center. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Michigan and my master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Renmin University of China.

My research interests include monetary policy, household finance, and international trade. My work studies inflation dynamics, global supply chain disruptions, population aging, and household consumption, with a focus on their macroeconomic implications.
