I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Politics at Princeton University and a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the University of Notre Dame. My research focuses on the intersection between Political Communication and International Security, with a regional focus on Asia. My book project explores the strategic relationship between China’s official rhetoric and crisis response. I recieved my Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Southern California in August 2024.

My research has been supported by the Predoctoral Research Fellowship at George Washington University’s Institute for Security and Conflict Studies, Wang Gungwu Visiting Fellowship at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute (Singapore), Predoctoral Research Fellowship at Korean Studies Institute (KSI) , Charles Koch Foundation’s Dissertation Fellowship, and Smith Richardson Foundation’s World Politics and Statecraft Fellowship.

Before my Ph.D.studies, I was a teaching associate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I earned my undergraduate degree (University Distinction & Departmental Honors) in Political Science at the University of Michigan, and my master’s degree in International Relations at the University of Chicago.
