ABOUT

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

My research interests include international political economy, international security, regime type, natural resources, and security forces, with a regional focus on the Asia-Pacific, particularly China, Southeast Asia, and Pacific Island countries. Specifically, my PhD thesis examines international police cooperation between China and Southeast Asian and Pacific countries. 

Derived from my PhD thesis, 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.
