About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Hospitality Business Analytics at Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership, University of Houston since August 2026.

My specific research interests include:

• Hospitality Business Analytics
• Applied Economics in Hospitality and Tourism
• Efficiency and Productivity Analysis
• Sharing Economy

Specifically, I examine micro-level dynamics within the hospitality and experience economy ecosystem, while also exploring how complex tourism systems at the macro level shape societal and economic outcomes. My work employs various analytical methods and computational/statistical techniques to analyze large-scale, high-resolution datasets (e.g., user-generated content, mobility data, consumer spending, and point-of-interest data). Through this research, my ultimate goal is to provide credible, data-driven evidence that advances understanding of the complex and evolving dynamics of hospitality and tourism.
