Biography​

I have lived most of my teenage years in Shenzhen and spent my college years in Guangzhou. Both cities are in southern China and have a huge migrant population and numbers of urban villages. 
 
I received my B.A. in Sociology at Sun Yat-sen University and my M.A. in Sociology at National Chengchi University in Taiwan. I have conducted two research projects during my master’s studies about single-sex schooling and gay youth friendship social network in Taiwan.
 
My researches focus on educational inequality both at a macro-level and a micro-level, including how school context, peer composition, and interaction in dynamic friendship network affect students’ educational behavior and social psychological factors. As to methodology, I’m interested in causal inference, social network analysis, and agent-based modeling.
