I’m an assistant professor of sociology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

I grew up in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province and previously studied and worked at Fudan, Ohio State, and Columbia.

I use a variety of different data sources (surveys + unstructured textual data) to answer foundamental questions in social stratification. I enjoy defining vague and complex concepts and measuring them with quantitative rigor.

A few recent updates of my work: curriculum interdisciplinarity, youth employment in china, school racial context and personality penalties.
