I am an assistant professor of economics at School of Economics, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE), Chengdu, China. I obtained the PhD degree in Economics, incorporating a multidisciplinary perspective, from Tilburg University in January 2025.

My study fields are digital economics, behavioral and experimental economics. I am deeply fascinated by exploring the intrinsic motivations behind human work—what drives people to engage in tasks for their own sake.
