My name is Meng Song (宋孟 in Chinese). I am a Ph.D. student in Economics at the University of Connecticut. My primary research interests lie in applied microeconomics, with a focus on labor economics, health economics, and the economics of education.

In parallel with my doctoral studies, I am also pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science, where I am building expertise in natural language processing and empirical machine learning methods. I enjoy using these tools to analyze diverse unstructured data, reveal meaningful patterns, and deepen the precision and impact of my research.
