Beginning in Summer 2026, I will join the Department of Psychology at Western Kentucky University as an Assistant Professor.

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the Healthy Aging Lab at Cornell University, U.S. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s degree at Peking University in China. My research centers on lifespan development in self-concepts and decision-making processes, with their implications for well-being. These topics address fundamental questions of everyday life: how we view ourselves across the past, present, and future, and how we make decisions that shape our future.

To do so, I adopt quantitative methodologies, including behavioral experiments and large-scale surveys, supplemented with qualitative evidence such as text responses.
