I am an MRes/PhD student in Political Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), supported by the Lee Family Scholarship. My research focuses on the household registration system (Hukou), the evolution of internal migration regulations, and their effects on public political attitudes in China. Using formal models, survey data, and empirical methods, I examine how migration policies influence redistribution preferences, regime support, and social integration in authoritarian contexts.

I hold a Master of Political Science (Political Science and Political Economy) from LSE, where my dissertation explored the impact of the 1999 higher education expansion on political opinions in China. I also hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Business Economics) from UNSW Sydney. Beyond research, I co-organise the PSPE Work-in-Progress Seminar at LSE. My work contributes to the broader study of political economy, authoritarian regime stability, and migration governance.
