Dr. Kuo's fields of research include international political economy, political psychology, democratic resilience, public diplomacy, Internet governance, and experimental methods. Substantively, Dr. Kuo has worked on the political economy of China's rise across a wide range of issues, including impacts of the maritime territorial disputes over the South China Sea on China's soft power in East Asia, the public willingness to receive the Chinese and domestically produced COVID-19 vaccine in Taiwan during the global pandemic, the Chinese approach to global Internet governance, as well as coercive diplomacy, risk of war, and economic security in the Indo-Pacific region.

One of his current research projects explores the diversity of artificial intelligence policy practices across countries and develops a social science analytical framework for understanding the rise of digital sovereignty in the global artificial intelligence value chain. 

Dr. Kuo is committed to providing students quality learning experience through research-informed teaching innovations.  He is the recipient of the University's Teaching Excellence Award twice in a row since 2021.
