ABOUT

I am a PhD Candidate in International, Political, and Strategic Studies at the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, Australian National University (ANU), Australia.

I specialise in international political economy, security studies, development studies, and research design in the social sciences, with research interests that include geopolitical risk, foreign direct investment (FDI), regime type, policing, conflict, natural resources, and the international relations of the Asia-Pacific. I primarily employ regression analysis, causal inference, and fieldwork research in my methodological approach. The regional focus of my research centres on the Asia-Pacific, including China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Island countries. My work has been published in Cambridge Review of International Affairs and Uluslararası İlişkiler–International Relations. 

My PhD thesis examines international police cooperation between China and Southeast Asian and Pacific countries. Building on it, my research proposal, titled "Enabling Regional Law Enforcement Cooperation: Transnational Policing Between China and the Mekong States," has been awarded Early Career Scholars Seed Funding by the Research Group on Transnational Political Networks (supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York) at the Center for International Affairs and World Cultures, Northeastern University, USA.
