About

I am Hanzhe Li (李韩哲, pronounced similarly to /liː hɑːn dʒɜː/), a PhD student in economics at the University of Hong Kong and a research associate at the HKU Centre for AI, Management and Organization (CAMO).

Before joining HKU, I earned an M.Phil. in Economics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and a bachelor's degree in Economics, with a minor in Mathematics, from Nanjing University. I was a visiting student at Northwestern University in Fall 2024 and at the University of Chicago in Fall 2025.

My field is organizational economics. I primarily work with dynamic games and information economics models.
