About Me

I am a research professional at Chicago Booth.
My primary research interests center on understanding the role of information across various contexts and how private firms choose their disclosures and use accounting information. I am interested in how different types of information disclosure shape corporate economic behaviors and outcomes, how companies strategize information disclosure to attract attention and investment through different intermediaries, and how peer effects spill over into disclosure choices.
Besides business research, I am also drawn to Eastern philosophy, literature, and film. During my undergraduate studies, I pursued a double major in Chinese Literature (though not completed) with a focus on Taoist philosophy and modern Taiwanese literature. Taoist Philosophy shapes and grounds my life vision, and Taiwanese literature and movies strengthen my sense of national identity.
Outside of academia, I engage in photography and mentor high school students in academic preparation and school applications. With 8+ years of experience in photography, I have worked as a documentary and sports photographer/photojournalist for several media outlets. I have also served as a tutor and mentor for more than 40 high school students and families over the past 5+ years. I am also a serious foodie and on my way to becoming a gourmet.
