About Me
I am a doctoral candidate in Public Administration at the University of Macau, building upon my academic foundation of a BA in Public Administration from Jinan University and an MA in Macau Studies from the University of Macau.
My research trajectory has been marked by active participation in numerous academic conferences, where I have presented papers linking Macau-related and Chinese issues to global contexts. Currently, my doctoral research focuses on the intersections of digitalization and resilient governance.
My research interests encompass:
- Macau’s associational landscape
- The integration process between Macau and Mainland China
- Migration patterns and policies
- Resilience and Resilient Government
My academic journey has honed my analytical and problem-solving skills, enabling me to adeptly navigate complex research environments and manage multifaceted projects. In addition to a strong foundation in standard academic software suites, I have developed proficiency in advanced data analysis tools, particularly R. My methodological expertise extends to qualitative research techniques, including in-depth interviewing and systematic textual data analysis.
