I am currently Associate Professor in the School of Economics, College of Business and Law. I received my PhD in Economics from Monash University, and a Master and Bachelor degree in Economics from Wuhan University in China. My current research focuses on sustainability and diversity. I have published widely in quality peer-reviewed international journals and several books. I have led projects funded by UN Women, Australian government and industrial partners to address real world problems such as promoting gender equality in the workplace and understanding the implications of globalization on gender balance in the labor market. Recently, I am part of the project promoting collaborations between Australia and China on Sustainable Aviation. I am a regular commentator for SBS radio's Mandarin program, and have provided commentary to many media outlets including ABC and China Daily.
