I am an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at the Ohio State University. Previously, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Political and Social Change (PSC) at the Australian National University, a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Sociology at the Nuffield College, and an Associate Member in the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford. I received a PhD in Sociology from New York University in 2019.
My research interests center on contemporary and historical demography and inequality, and objective as well as perceived social mobility. I also study statistical methods of causal inference and historical census record linking methods. My work has appeared in Demography, Social Science Research, Population and Development Review, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and has been featured in media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal.
I am the recipient of the Kerckhoff Award from the International Sociological Association Research Committee on Stratification and Mobility (RC28), the National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Award, and the Nan Lin Graduate Student Paper Award from the International Chinese Sociological Association.
