Personal profile
Overview
I joined the Department of Sociology as a Lecturer in September 2024. My research interests include ageing, inequalities in health and care, gender, and life course with a focus on quantitative methods. Previously, I worked as a research associate at the ESRC Centre for Care, the University of Sheffield, focusing on care data infrastructure and care inequality. I led on projects, including “Unmet needs for long-term care in both UK and Chinese contexts” and “Valuing Carers 2021: Northern Ireland”.
I received my PhD in Social Statistics at the University of Manchester funded by ESRC (advanced quantitative methods). My doctoral thesis examined internal migration and health and well-being in later life in China from a gendered life course perspective. Prior to my PhD, I obtained my MSc in Social Medicine and BSc in Demography from Renmin University of China.
I am the early career lead for the Global Network for Ageing Research on China (GNARC) and a co-lead for the Quantitative Analysis and Research Network for Care (QAR-Net Care). Outside academia, I enjoy watching sports.
