Overview

Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Social Research Methods at the Department of Methodology, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and a Ph.D. Affiliate at the LSE Data Science Institute. I am a Visiting Assistant in Research at Department of Political Science at Yale University.

I am on the academic job market for 2025–26.

My research spans AI policy, digital governance, and AI in policy-making. Substantively, I examine how governance strategies and generative AI jointly affect public attitude, mislead decision-making, and influence policy support. These dynamics can produce unintended consequences in Asia and globally. Methodologically, I combine computational text, image, and network analysis with survey and human-AI conversational experiments.

I have authored 8 papers, all published, under review, or in preparation for leading journals. These include my [job market paper](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4cahelmgd1tqvslrhkgrx/Job_Market_Paper.pdf?rlkey=p2k2syeit3i4qp7wytmzwxiq9&st=cos23949&dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b7ebqft5cpj5uciymmrja/Job_Market_Paper.pdf?rlkey=qm4w1yes5zhm1av27rks51fuv&st=b6hznbxa&dl=0) under review at Government Information Quarterly, and a publication in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Nature Portfolio). I am working on a paper targeting PNAS, supported by grants from LSE, OpenAI, and Google.

My teaching experence include courses related to comparative politics, political communication, Asian studies, and quantitative methods, with formal pedagogical training and excellent teaching evaluations.
