Shan He is a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. She received her M.S. in economics from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and her  B.A. in Economics from the South China University of Technology. Her research uses detailed data and different economics modelings to address policy related issues in the circular economy.

Shan enjoys watching baking competition shows and tries to replicate the masterpieces made by those bakers. Unfortunately, she has never nailed it but created many rubbery cakes.
