​Welcome! I am a political science Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I received M.S. in statistics from UCLA and M.Phil. in social science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
        I am interested in political economy, comparative politics, and applied statistics. Using observational data, experiments, and formal modeling, my recent projects study bureaucracy, corruption, and the state-business relations in authoritarian regimes, with an emphasis on China.
        My work has appeared in Journal of Theoretical Politics and International Studies Review.
