Ruqing Xu

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Economics at Cornell University. My CV is available here. You can reach me at rx24@cornell.edu.

My research is at the intersection of Economics and Computer Science. In particular, I study the role of information in decision-making, and how to design systems that incorporate both human and algorithmic assessments. I am a member of Cornell’s initiative on Artificial Intelligence, Policy, and Practice (AIPP). In Summer 2024, I interned at Microsoft Research New England with Nicole Immorlica and Brendan Lucier.

Prior to Cornell, I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Hong Kong with First Class Honours in Comparative Literature and Economics. I also spent a wonderful year at Yale University via the selective Y-VISP program.

My real world interests include horseback riding and astrophotography. View some of my works here.
