Biography

I am a first-year PhD student in Accounting and Management Control. My research interests lie ​in the financial accounting and green accounting covering short selling, information disclosure and ESG-related topics.

I received the MSc in Finance from Johns Hopkins University and BSc in Management from Ocean University of China. Before joining HEC Paris, I also served as a research assistant at Southern University of Science and Technology.
