I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at National Taiwan University. I am mainly an environmental sociologist studying climate change and environment. In recent years, I also branched out my research interests to race, food, sports, and other exciting topics. I view research as a team sport and enjoy working and learning from colleagues across disciplines.

Before I returned to Taiwan in summer 2019, I was an Assistant Professor for three wonderful years 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.
