I am a Boya Young Fellow Assistant Professor at Center for Social Research, Guanghua School of Management, Peking University. Prior to joining PKU, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University. I earned my PhD in Social Science from HKUST in 2016.
My research broadly concerns social demography, social stratification and mobility, and comparative historical demography. I am especially interested in understanding how family and social context shape demographic differentials and socioeconomic inequality. My research has appeared (or is forthcoming) in American Journal of Sociology, Demography, Evolution and Human Behavior, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, Social Science & Medicine, among other international academic journals, as well as top sociology and history journals in Chinese, such as 社会学研究, 历史研究, and 社会.
