Hi! I am Zihao.

I am a third-year PhD student in Economics at Columbia University.

Before coming to Columbia, I spent two years as a PhD student at Princeton ORFE (2021–2023). I received my B.S. in Mathematics and M.S. in Statistics from the University of Chicago, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Lek-Heng Lim.

I am deeply indebted to the mentors, collaborators, and friends who have supported me along this journey.

You can find my CV here. (Last update: Aug 2025)
