I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy at Cornell University. My research centers on how macro-level conditions, such as occupational sex segregation in the U.S., marketization in China, and family policies in OECD countries, affect individual-level labor market outcomes. My dissertation, “A Tale of Two Labor Markets—How Gender Wage Inequalities Associated with Occupational Sex Segregation Vary in High- and Low-Skilled Occupations, United States 1960–2019,” re-examines sex segregation through historical and structural changes, including women’s increasing commitment to the labor market, the rise in women’s higher educational attainment, and the economic polarization. In another publication, I study how marketization has affected gender wage inequality in China. In one collaborative study, we studied how neighborhood inequality has perpetuated unequal access to COVID vaccination. I have also co-authored several publications exploring how work-family reconciliation policies have affected gender inequality for women by social class.

I received my Ph.D. from Sociology at University of Southern California, M.A. from Media, Culture, and, Communication at New York University and B.A. from Chinese Literature and Culture at Beijing Language and Culture University.
