👋

I’m a Ph.D candidate at the University of Michigan School of Information co-advised by Professors Misha Teplitskiy and Daniel Romero.

💡 I’m interested in how scientific institutions decide who and what to reward. Using methods from computational social science on large administrative datasets, I seek to answer questions like

• Is interdisciplinary research penalized in journal peer review? (Xiang et al. 2025)
• How do applicant pool characteristics influence doctoral programs’ admission criteria? (work in progress)

🎓 I received by B.S. from Brown University in 2022 with degrees in applied mathematics and physics. My undergraduate honors thesis was advised by Professor Björn Sandstede.
