About me

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Division of Global and Area Studies, School of Humanities and Social Science, at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. I received my dual-title Ph.D. in Political Science and Social Data Analytics (SoDA) from The Pennsylvania State University in 2026.

My research focuses on international political economy, particularly how global supply chains shape firms’ political preferences, lobbying behavior, and responses to transnational regulations. I examine the political implications of cross-border production networks in areas such as climate governance, economic sanctions, and industrial policy. My work also investigates how environmental standards and regulatory pressures travel across borders through supply-chain relationships. Methodologically, I combine firm-level data, quantitative methods, and computational text analysis. I am also interested in developing computational approaches to measuring policy positions in regulatory debates.

My research has been published in International Studies Quarterly and the Journal of Contemporary China. During my doctoral studies, I was awarded the Milton B. Dolinger Graduate Fellowship (2024–2025) and the Program in Empirical International Relations (PEIR) Fellowship (2023–2024), along with several research grants and awards from Penn State. Before pursuing my Ph.D., I received an M.Phil. in Politics and Public Administration from the University of Hong Kong and a B.Soc.Sc. in Government and International Studies from Hong Kong Baptist University, where I was awarded full scholarships.
