汪小烜是近代中國社會歷史學家，他的工作結合了檔案研究和民族志研究。他對中國與西方的現代相遇以及隨之而來的改革和革命如何改變了普通中國人的生活、行動、組織和與國家互動的方式的問題有著廣泛的興趣。他的第一本書《毛主義與基層宗教：共產主義革命與中國宗教生活的重塑》由牛津大學出版社於 2020 年出版，講述了當地社區遭遇共產主義革命的故事及其後果，特別是競爭和宗教財產和儀式空間的鬥爭。他正在開展一個研究當代中國城市轉向和宗教未來的項目。他的另一個項目探索了二十世紀之交以來歐洲華人社區和網絡的形成及其與中國政府的錯綜複雜的關係，重點關注浙江南部血統的人。
汪博士是哈佛大學東亞語言與文明博士。他是哥倫比亞大學的訪問學者和馬克斯普朗克研究所的博士後研究員。
