Research Interest: Overwork, Work and Health, Health Disparity, Gender Inequality

I am a Sociology PhD student affiliated to the Center for Family and Population Research at NUS. My research interests include work and health, health disparity, as well as gender inequality. Recently I am specifically interested in the phenomenon of overwork. Before joining NUS, I obtained my master degree in Duke University and bachelor degree in Xi’an Jiaotong University.

My thesis will be about the relationship between overwork and health in China. The characteristics of China's overwork phenomenon, how overwork influences young workers' health, and how over work causes the gender gap in health are of my interests.
