Yajun Cao

Yajun Cao is a doctoral student in Organizational Behavior (Micro) at Harvard Business School. His research focuses on emotion regulation, setbacks, and resilience, aiming to understand how individuals and groups bounce back and grow from negative events. He explores this question based on two key processes: managing negative emotions and learning from setbacks. He investigates these processes at both the individual and collective levels, using a combination of experimental methods and both quantitative and qualitative fieldwork. 

Yajun received a B.S. in Psychology and B.A. in Management with a Minor in Data Science from Peking University.
