Welcome! I am a Research Fellow in Natural Language Processing at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Government (CAIG) and the School of Government at the University of Birmingham. Before joining Birmingham, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Politics and International Relations at University College Dublin and a Pre-doctoral Researcher at the Chair of Comparative Politics at the University of Bamberg. I earned my PhD in Politics from the University of Essex in January 2023, after obtaining a BA and MA in Public Administration & Policy from National Taipei University in Taiwan.
My substantial research primarily focuses on legislative studies, political behavior, electoral systems, and Taiwan politics, with a particular emphasis on the political contexts of East Asia. Methodologically, I am especially interested in measuring ideological preferences and political stances using quantitative and computational methods through legislative voting, surveys, expert surveys, and the analysis of parliamentary speeches and political texts. My recent work involves quantitative text analysis and computational methods to understand the political narratives of elites and their impact on public attitudes and future expectations.
