My research focuses on elite education and social mobility in Republican China. I did my MPhil thesis on the structure and transformation of student groups at Nanking University(金陵大学)in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China using a big data analytic approach. As a member of the Lee-Campbell group, I participate in the study of Chinese overseas and domestic students and am responsible for the completion of the CUSD-OS and related materials and the organization and maintenance of the CUSD-ROC.

I hope to combine quantitative and traditional methods in history to understand the emergence and development of human capital particularly in STEM in twentieth-century China.
