施佳鑫

Jiaxin Shi is Assistant Professor of Social Science at HKUST. His work primarily contributes to three areas of research: (1) patterns of mortality and longevity, (2) impacts of large-scale shocks such as wars, and (3) internal and international migration. These research areas are unified by his broader interest in how the social stratification system intersects with population dynamics across historical and contemporary contexts.

He received his DPhil in Sociology from Oxford and conducted his thesis work at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. Prior to joining HKUST, he was a postdoctoral researcher at UW-Madison. Currently, he is an affiliate of the Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA) and the Center for Demography of Health and Aging at UW-Madison.
