G'day! I am an Assistant Professor of Accounting at the HKU Business School, The University of Hong Kong. My research interests lie at the intersection of accounting, environmental economics, and public policy, with a focus on the role of disclosure and transparency in environmental regulatory settings. I also study management control systems using field data.

I received my doctorate degree in accounting from the University of Melbourne in 2024 and my bachelor’s degree in journalism from Tsinghua University. I am a licensed CPA in mainland China.

Research interests: information-based regulation; environmental economics & policy; management control system
