I am currently Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Gothenburg, V-Dem Institute and from Fall 2026, I will be a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, University of Notre Dame.

My research centers on the role of political parties across political systems, democratic resilience and authoritarian stability, causes and consequences of regime changes, and the politics of East Asia. Among my data release there is “OPAMED,” the first dataset on party members in autocracies (download it here). I have published in academic journals such as the British Journal of Political Science,Journal of Peace Research, and Democratization. I have also written for or being interviewed by outlets such as Washington Post, Political Insights, The Loop, and Democracy Paradox.

I received my PhD in 2023 from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), and held visiting positions as Jemolo Research Fellow at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, and at the Department of Government at Cornell University. I am the recipient of the 2022 Virginia Gray Graduate Student Award (APSA Political Organisations and Parties Section) and HKU's Outstanding Research Award.

I am co-founder, president, and co-organizer of the Authoritarian Political Systems Group (APSG), co-founder of the Political Studies Association Autocracies and Regime Change (ARC) section , and I am member of the Representation journal editorial board (Here is my CV).
