I am a human-environment geographer and interdisciplinary social scientist focusing on sustainable urban development in China. My work intersects with environmental science, policy, and planning, urban geography, political economy, critical science and development studies, and global China studies.
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Sustainability with the Atkinson Center for Sustainability and Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at Cornell University. I am also a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers University - New Brunswick. I completed a Ph.D. in Geography at the University of California, Berkeley with a designated emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies.
One of my research projects explores the ways ecology, governance, and society intersect in China through global circulations of ecological science, urban ecological protection planning, and the infrastructural politics of displacement. I am currently preparing a book manuscript on this project, based on years of field research, called Ecological States: Politics of Sustainable Urbanization in China. Another research project explores the nexus of urban consumption of rare and endangered fish in Hong Kong, conservation governance, and global fisheries. My research collaborations include universities, non-governmental organizations, and environmental research labs.
