I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at University of California, Berkeley. My research interests include conflict, political violence, authoritarian politics, and survey methodology. My ongoing research examines perceptions of violent conflict actors. My work has been published in the International Journal of Public Opinion Research and Japanese Journal of Political Science.

I hold an MA in Political Science from Berkeley, an MPhil in International Relations from University of Oxford, and a BSocSc in Politics from University of Hong Kong. I am an organizing member of the Global Research Association of Politics in Hong Kong (GRAPH).
