Biography


I am currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. I earned my Master

 of Philosophy from the Department of Social Science at HKUST and obtained my PhD from the Department of Politics and Public Administration at 

the University of Hong Kong.


My academic interests encompass a wide range of topics, including public opinion, state capacity, and digital governance. Additionally, I am keen on 

exploring the political economy of contemporary China. For more information about my research, please visit my research page.
