I joined the Lee-Campbell Research Group in October 2022. I am a PhD student at the School of History and Culture at the Central China Normal University School. My current research focuses on Chinese bureaucracy in the Qing Dynasty using quantitative history methods.
For my PhD dissertation, I am studying river officials in the Qing dynasty, utilizing both traditoinal and quantitative methods. In 2024, my co-authored paper with Prof. Cameron Campbell “The Organizational Demography of the Qing Civil Service, 1830-1911” was published in Shehui Kexue Yanjiu (Social Science Research). This year my paper “An Analysis of Rural Family Income in Northeast Hubei in 1952” was published in Da Shuju yu Zhongguo Lishi Yanjiu (Big Data and Chinese Historical Research).
I earned my MA in History at Central China Normal University. My MA thesis studied living standards in rural areas in Hubei Province in the 1950s, using archived survey data and quantitative methods.
