Profile

I am Associate Professor at the Department of China Studies, currently teaching two undergraduate modules, on China's foreign relations and China's relations with Asia respectively.

My research interests span both China's domestic and international politics. I am particularly interested in China-Europe relations, the politics of China's infrastructure projects abroad ( especially high-speed railways), China's multilateral initiatives, China's overseas industrial parks and development zones, and issues related to local-level and participatory governance in China. My research has appeared in various academic and think tank publications (see below), and has been quoted and referenced in various media and policy documents.
