I am an Assistant Professor in Finance in Kelley School of Business, Indiana University.

I joined Kelley in 2015, after finishing a PhD degree in Finance at S.C. Johnson School of Cornell University. Prior to studying in Cornell, I obtained Bachelors' degrees in Economics and Mathematics from Peking University and a Master's degree in Financial Mathematics from University of Chicago.

​My research interests are in the area of empirical corporate finance, including financial intermediation, labor and finance, and supply-chain relationships. ​
