Welcome! I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Economics Department at Columbia University after finishing my undergraduate study at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. 

​

My research explores topics related to empirical corporate finance, especially entrepreneurial finance, by using multidisciplinary research methods. In particular, I enjoy designing field and lab-in-field experiments to study important entrepreneurship and finance-related questions. These experiments, similar to art, help people understand the world while providing their designers with enough freedom and space for imagination. 

​( I am on the 2020-2021 job market and will be available for interviews at the 2021 ASSA Virtual Meetings. )

Research Interest: Entrepreneurial Finance, Empirical Corporate Finance, Field Experiments
