MPhil Sociology and Demography
2021

I am an MPhil student in the Department of Sociology, interested in understanding the mechanisms of human society based on quantitative data and empirical evidence. Prior to studying here at Oxford, I earned a BSc degree in Social Science with Quantitative Methods (First Class Honours) from University College London Social Research Institute. My undergraduate dissertation, Family formation trajectory and its correlation with later-life health in England: A sequence analysis approach, was one of three winners of the UK Data Service 2021 Dissertation Award.

In addition, I have worked closely with researchers from the Shanghai Academy of Social Science (Institute of Urban and Demographic Studies) and the Shanghai Centre for Disease Control & Prevention on topics including high frequency hearing impairment, COVID-19 data tracing, urban development, and population policy.

My broader research interests include social determinants of health inequality, analytical sociology, social epidemiology, family demography, causal inferences, and social data science.
