I am a PhD Candidate in Sociology at Yale University. I am on the 2025-2026 job market.

As a sociologist and social demographer, my research areas include stratification and inequality, immigration, family demography, the labor market, and organizations. 

My dissertation examines high-skilled immigration to the United States, with a focus on how immigration policy (e.g., the H-1B visa) shapes labor market stratification and talent retention. I primarily use quantitative methods to analyze millions of administrative records from U.S. government agencies, alongside nationally representative survey data.

My articles are published in journals such as Sociology, Demographic Research, Population Research and Policy Review, Journal of Family Issues, and Chinese Journal of Sociology. I received my B.A. in Sociology and Economics from Grinnell College.
