I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology and East Asian Studies at Occidental College. During 2015-2016, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School. 

I earned my Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and joint master’s degrees from the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (MEM) and the International and Development Economics (IDE) program at Yale University. Before shifting to my social science career, I majored in chemical engineering at National Taiwan University. 

My research interest lies in economic sociology, environmental sociology, development, and globalization. I work across disciplines to address intellectual questions and practical concerns about the environment and climate change. I view research as a team sport and enjoy working and learning from colleagues.
