Bio
I am a PhD candidate in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. I am fortunate to be advised by Misha Teplitskiy and David Jurgens. I am also a Visiting Research Fellow at the Center for Science of Science and Innovation at Northwestern University.
I study science of science and innovation and have a broad interest in computational social science. My current research investigates global disparities in science and knowledge transfer within the science community.
I received my M.S. from Carnegie Mellon University and my B.S. from Zhejiang University, where I was a Morningside Cultural China Scholar.
