My PhD research focuses on the competitiveness of agriculture in China and the European Union, examining how structural changes and trade policies shape international relations. Beyond research, I am committed to making economics accessible and relevant, emphasizing critical thinking, applied knowledge, and interdisciplinary learning. Before entering academia, I worked in multinational corporations such as UBS and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, where I gained experience in finance, auditing, and corporate processes. This practical expertise allows me to bring a professional perspective to the classroom, bridging theory with practice. Outside of work, I am passionate about music—I have been playing the guitar since my teenage years—and I enjoy sports such as archery, cycling, and swimming. I also have a strong interest in languages and intercultural communication, which continues to shape both my teaching and personal growth. In all areas of my work, I strive to inspire students, foster curiosity, and create an environment where learning connects with the challenges and opportunities of a globalized world.
