I am a PhD candidate in Management Science at the School of Management, Fudan University, advised by Prof. Xiaole Wu. I am currently a visiting PhD student at the Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis (Jan – Jul 2026), hosted by Prof. Panos Kouvelis. My research lies at the intersection of operations management and financial risk management, with a current focus on hedging strategies for supply chains exposed to exchange rate, commodity, and policy risks, and structural analysis of capital-intensive manufacturing supply chains.

I will be on the 2026–2027 academic job market for tenure-track positions in Operations Management.
