I am an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at North Carolina State University.

My research topics cover energy transition, climate change mitigation and adaptation, innovation and development, and environmental regulation. I aim to tackle pressing policy issues tied to environmental and energy challenges in the US and emerging economies, by integrating microeconomic theory, innovative data, and advanced econometric tools. My recent work focuses on:

• Energy transition, electrification, and policy designs for the net-zero emissions target
• Climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resilience
• Welfare impacts of technology upgrades and infrastructure investments in the electricity sector
• Information, risk perception, and household behavior

I received my Ph.D. in Environmental Policy (Economics Track) at Duke University. I was also a James B. Duke Fellow and a student fellow affiliated with the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability and the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project. Prior to Duke, I was a research associate at the Environmental Research Center of Duke Kunshan University. I received my B.A. in Economics and B.Sc. in Mathematics from Wuhan University.
