About

PhD Student

Assistant Research Fellow
Research Division VIII
Taiwan Insitute of Economic Research (TIER) 

I hold M.A. in Political Science (National Taiwan University, 2010) and B.A. in Political Science (Chinese Culture University, 2006).

Previously I served as the coordinator of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Small and Medium Enterprise Working Group (SMEWG) for over three years. My direct engagement in APEC affairs is invaluable experience for understanding the complex networks and systems in international negotiation.

With this experience, I am using inferential network methods, and multiplex and hyper-graph visualization to study the complexity of policy issue flow and cooperation within and among intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Awarded and sponsored a four-year fellowship by the Ministry of Education of the Taiwanese Government, I am in the NSF-NRT Interdisciplinary Dual PhD Program majoring in Complex Networks and Systems (under School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering) and Political Science in Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).
