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 study international political economy, international security, and causal inference, with research interests that include FDI, regime type, security forces, policing, conflict, and natural resources. The regional focus of my research primarily centers on the Asia-Pacific, including China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Island countries. Specifically, my PhD thesis examines international police cooperation between China and Southeast Asian and Pacific countries. My work has been published in Cambridge Review of International Affairs and Uluslararası İlişkiler–International Relations.

Building on 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.
