Hello! I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at National University of Singapore. Starting in September 2025, I will join New York University Abu Dhabi as a Post-Doctoral Associate in the Social Science Division.

My research focuses on social stratification, family demography, and subjective well-being. My dissertation examines the subjective experiences associated with educational mobility and sorting. My Ph.D. advisor is Zheng Mu.

One strand of my research investigates how individuals subjectively experience social mobility and stratification. My first study, published in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, examines how intergenerational educational mobility, conceptualized as a family project, affects the well-being of primary movers and their parents, with attention to family structures and gender dynamics. Building on this work, another study of mine explores subjective experiences of educational sorting across European societies, also published in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility.

Another line of my research examines trends in family formation and reproduction in Asia. I documented the rising trend of voluntary childlessness among married couples in Singapore (published in Advances in Life Course Research), in contrast to the strengthening ties between marriage and fertility in China (published in Family Relations). My recent works explain intermarriage patterns concerning race/ethnicity, caste, and education in various developing Asian countries.
