I am an assistant professor at the International College of Innovation at the National Chengchi University (國立政治大學創新國際學院).

As an empirical public policy scholar, I study how governments can advance social well-being through effective policy design and institutional innovation. My research examines how policy tools, resource allocation mechanisms, and governance structures shape outcomes in education equity, fiscal justice, social welfare, and public governance outcomes. Drawing on rich administrative data and employing causal inference and advanced quantitative methods, I investigate how institutional design choices affect individual opportunities, organizational performance, and societal equity.

My work lies at the intersection of public policy, public finance, and social equity. Through collaborative research with government agencies, I translate empirical findings into actionable policy recommendations. Across projects, the throughline is a commitment to evidence-based governance that supports fairer resource distribution, more accountable public institutions, and more innovative solutions to pressing social challenges.

I earned a PhD in Public Affairs from the University of Missouri’s Harry S Truman School of Government and Public Affairs in 2025. I also hold an MPA (Master of Public Administration) from National Chengchi University (Taiwan, 2019) and a BA in Political Science from National Taiwan University (2015); before beginning graduate study, I worked in the Congress of Taiwan.
