About Me

Welcome! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University. My main research interests cover the political economy of corruption, governance, and development. My research has received funding from American Political Science Association, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard Asia Center, Harvard Kennedy School, Institute for Humane Studies, Institute for Quantitative Social Science, and Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.

At Harvard, I am also a Desmond and Whitney Shum Fellow at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and a Graduate Student Affliate with the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Prior to doctoral studies, I earned my M.A. in Political Science from Duke University, and B.A. in Politics and Public Administration (with distinction) from Renmin University of China.
