Welcome! I am currently an assistant professor in Department of Political Science and Global Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the Macmillan Center, Yale University (July 2022 - June 2024). I received my doctoral degree from the Department of Political Science at Duke University in December 2022. Before that, I completed a dual master's program in International Affairs from Paris School of International Affairs of Sciences Po Paris and School of International Relations of Peking University, and I earned my BA from Beijing Foreign Studies University.
I study state-building and nation-building, focusing on the role of political elites in shaping state development and national identity. My work combines quantitative methods with extensive qualitative archival research. I teach courses on state building and Chinese politics.
