I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology. I received my Ph.D. in Financial Economics (joint program) from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics in 2023. I graduated with a B.A. in Economics from Guanghua School of Management, Peking University in 2018.

I study how investors systematically deviate from rational benchmarks and how these deviations shape asset prices. My research centers on two themes: (i) examining behavioral biases and limitations that push investors away from rational decision-making, and (ii) uncovering non-pecuniary values (NPV) that lead investors to willingly depart from profit maximization. My approach combines large-scale empirical analyses of holdings and textual data with theoretical modeling, experiments, and novel tools such as machine learning and large language models.
