I am a PhD candidate in Economics at University of California, Davis. My primary research fields are economic history, labor economics, migration, and regional economics.

My recent studies focus on the interactions between migration, education, and health. My job market paper investigates persistent human capital spillovers in China's rural areas resulting from a mass migration policy between 1962 and 1980.
​
I am currently on the job market and will be available for interviews at the 2020 ASSA meetings in San Diego.
