He also works as an academic tutor, teaching microeconomics, and as a research assistant on various empirical projects at Macquarie University. With a passion for both academic rigor and social impact, Han integrates empirical research with practical applications that address real-world policy challenges. 

Han’s current research explores the relationship between income inequality and individual well-being in China, using discrete choice experiments (DCE) to investigate how income comparisons shape people’s attitudes and preferences.

Han’s studies aim to offer insights for scholars, policymakers, and the broader public.
