🦸‍♂️I am a 23-Fall PhD student in the Department of Information Systems in the College of Business at City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Ben LIU and Prof. Xin LI. I received my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from South China University of Technology as one of the TOP 10 outstanding undergraduate students in June 2023.

My research focuses on Chinese patient (especially elderly) well-being in technology-powered healthcare, two specific areas of which may be online healthcare communities and human-AI interaction. I am also interested in AI regulation in organization. I am passionate about empirical research (both survey and secondary data) with an emphasis on credible causal inference and behavioral decision theory, and I am also interested in incorporating lab experiments and game theory insights into my research.
