About

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Central China Normal University (appointed in 2025). My research lies at the intersection of theoretical computer science and economics. In particular, I am interested in problems related to game theory, mechanism design, and contract theory. More recently, I have a growing interest in online learning problems arising from the field of economics.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2024, where I worked in the Algorithms and Logic Lab under the supervision of Prof. Mingyu Xiao. I also obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the School of Information and Communication Engineering at UESTC. From 2022 to 2023, I was a visiting student at the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, hosted by Prof. Pinyan Lu. After completing my Ph.D. in 2024, I worked as a visiting scholar in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Decision Analytics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, hosted by Prof. Yiding Feng.

If you’re interested in my work, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
