My research in applied economics such as economic growth, regional development, monetary policy, entrepreneurship and innovation has been published in top field journals such as Research Policy, Reginal Studies, Economic History Review, Energy Economics, Annals of Tourism Research, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, etc.

Meanwhile, I keep a close connection with the industries, providing consultancy for Confused.com, Ausnutria Dairy Co., Ltd and Peril Capital Ltd. I also contributed to the quantitative evaluation of the Welsh government’s Independent Living Adaptation scheme and investigating the health needs of the homeless (jointly with Shelter Cymru). My published article on international trade has attracted a wide attention in the British government, and was invited to present my findings at the House of Parliament. I also wrote commentary articles for Oxford Analytica, with a wide readership ranging from United Nations to multinational businesses.
