About Me

I am a research professional at Chicago Booth.

My current research focuses on information disclosure and banking. My primary research interest lies in understanding the role of information across various contexts. I investigate how different information disclosure shape corporate economic behaviors and outcomes, how companies strategize information disclosure to attract attention and investment using different mediums, and whether peer and spillover effects exist in the disclosure practices.

Besides business research, I am also drawn to Eastern Philosophy, literature, and movies. During my undergraduate, I pursued a double major in Chinese Literature (despite incomplete) with a focus on Taoist philosophy and modern Taiwanese literature. Taoist Philosophy carves and embodies my life vision, and Taiwanese literature and movies consolidate my national identity.

Outside of academia, I engage in photography and mentor high school students in academic preparation and school applications. With 8+ year of expertise in photography, I have been a documentary and sports photographer/photojournalist for several media outlets. I have also served as a tutor and a mentor for 40+ high school students and families for 5+ years.
