I am an Assistant Professor in the Mainland China and East Asian Studies Division at the Graduate Institute of National Development, National Taiwan University, where I will begin my tenure-track appointment in Fall 2026. Previously, I held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Birmingham and University College Dublin. I completed my PhD in Politics from the Department of Government at the University of Essex in 2023.
My current research examines how people and institutions make sense of political information, and how those interpretations shape representation, belief updating, and democratic governance. Anchored in the comparative study of East Asian politics but drawing on cases from Taiwan, the UK, the US, and Europe, I use legislative data, survey experiments, and text-as-data methods to study how electoral systems shape legislative behaviour and why citizens come to misperceive politics. I also examine large language models and other AI systems both as political actors and as instruments of measurement.
If you are attending APSA in Boston this year, visiting Taipei or Hualien (Taroko), or just happen to be in Taiwan after the summer, please feel free to reach out. I would be very happy to grab a coffee or a beer.
