I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the National Chengchi University in Taiwan. Before joining NCCU, I was the Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Ottawa, School of Political Studies and the Research Chair in Taiwan Studies. I received my doctoral degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto.

I research the politics of social welfare provision and care migration, with a focus on the transnational migration of care workers in East Asia. My work has been published in academic journals such as the Journal of Ethnic and Migration and Critical Sociology. I am also one of the co-editors of Emotions, Community, Citizenship: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives, published by the University of Toronto Press in 2017.​ 

My research has been acknowledged by Dr. Lincoln M. Alexander Award, China Times Cultural Foundation Young Scholar Award, Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, and Korea Foundation Fellowship for Field Research, among others.
