Biography

I joined the School of Soical and Political Sciences in September 2018. I received my PhD in Politics from the University of Glasgow in 2017, and an MSc and BA in Public policy from Nankai University in China. My main research and teaching interests lie in the areas of business lobbying, state-society relations and the policy processes in authoritarian settings. My current research focuses on local policy implementations of eldercare policies and central-local policy interactions in China.
