Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. Candidate jointly in Political Science and Agricultural & Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison

A comparativist and political economist, my research focuses on authoritarian politics, democratic backsliding, political preferences, and research methods.

Previously, I was a visiting scholar in political science at Columbia University in 2023-24. I received my MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics (LSE) as an LSE Lee Family Scholar, and a BA  in Economics and Finance from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), where I was an HKU Foundation Outstanding Mainland Scholar.
