​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 (both quantitative and qualitative), 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, or will soon appear, in Journal of Theoretical Politics and International Studies Review.
