POLITICAL SCIENTIST & CONFUCIAN ENTHUSIAST

I study how ideas shape the political order—focusing on how Confucian and Chinese philosophical traditions continue to inform contemporary political thought and international relations in China and the broader Indo-Pacific. 

My research examines the intersection of moral philosophy, cultural tradition, and practical governance. In particular, I explore how ethical and philosophical frameworks can contribute to more balanced and responsible approaches to political authority, leadership, and international affairs in the contemporary world.
