I’m an Assistant Professor in the Management Department at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. My research answers two questions:

• Bounded Representations: How do decision-makers navigate social and strategic environments when memory, attention, and learning provide only partial or biased representations?
• Collective Decision-Making: How do organizations aggregate distributed information, heterogeneous preferences, and divergent values into coherent collective action?

Before Frankfurt School, I was an Assistant Professor in House of Innovation at Stockholm School of Economics. I earned a Ph.D. in Management and Organizations from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, along with an M.S. in Statistics. I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. William Ocasio and the late Prof. Ned Smith. Before Northwestern, I received a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in Digital Entertainment Design from Tsinghua University. I also had a wonderful time conducting research on cognitive modeling in Prof. Cleotilde “Coty” Gonzalez’s Dynamic Decision Making Lab at Carnegie Mellon University.

When I am offline, I play pipa and cello.
