I am a PhD student at the department of industrial engineering, Tsinghua University. Currently, I’m visiting Huiwen Jia’s lab at UC Berkeley. I received my B.E. in industrial engineering from Tsinghua University in 2023.

I study decision-making with an ambition to connect normative theories with descriptive models. Current investigations include:

• Sequential Decision Algorithms for efficient learning and decision-making
• Resource-Rational Analysis of human decision making under risk and uncertainty
• Expert Elicitation Methodologies​​ for robust knowledge extraction and aggregation
