Yan Chen passes on the devastating news that YingHua He 何 英华 passed away on Tuesday night, after struggling with kidney cancer.
May his memory be a blessing.
He graduated from college in China in 2001, got an MA at Peking University, received his Ph.D. at Columbia in 2011, taught in Toulouse, and was an associate professor at Rice University when he died.
Here's his CV, and here is his Google Scholar page. He did important work on market design, including on school choice and kidney exchange.
He was one of the pioneers of empirical market design, combining econometrics with matching theory.
He had many friends, and I was lucky to be among them. Here's a photo I took of him giving a seminar at Stanford, when he was a visiting scholar in 2014-15
