Welcome! I am a doctoral candidate in political science at Johns Hopkins University.

       My substantive research interests include authoritarian politics, party politics, environmental politics and international relations, with a regional focus on China. My dissertation project studies the relationship between democratic parties (minzhu dangpai) and authoritarian rule in contemporary China by using mixed methods.

       I enjoy cooking, swimming and outdoor activities when not conducting research or teaching.
