ABOUT
I am a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Thomas C. Wanger, the leader of Sustainability, Agriculture, and Technology Lab (SAT Lab), China. Based on Zhejiang University - Westlake University Joint PhD Program, now I am the student of the two universities and receive their joint training. Being interested in interdisciplinary fields of agricultural resources and environment, human behavior, advanced technology, and applied economics, I enjoy working on projects that are technically sound, innovative, challenging, and that are of interest to academics and policy-makers alike.
