Welcome to my research page.

I am an Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of Economics, Academia Sinica (IEAS). I was previously a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of Nottingham in 2024-2025 and completed a Ph.D. in economics at Duke University in 2024.

My main research fields are international trade and economic development, with a focus on firm investment and trade participation decisions across space and the resulting welfare impacts. My job market paper investigates the welfare implication of the US-China trade war in Vietnam when foreign-owned manufacturers repatriate their profits.
