I worked in China at Fudan University for nine years, and now I am a Lecturer in International Politics in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, Philosophy, and Anthropology of the University of Exeter. I am also non-resident research fellow with the TOChina Hub and the Head of Research for its ChinaMed Project.

I am also a member of the editorial board of the Global Studies Quarterly, Armed Forces & Society, as well as OrizzonteCina.

From an empirical perspective, most of my research focuses on Chinese foreign policy, particularly its approach to the Middle East and the factors that influence it. From a theoretical standpoint, my work draws on and contributes to the study of foreign policy analysis, public policy, and international political economy. I am proficient in both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis. Currently, I am particularly interested in all aspects of authoritarian foreign policymaking.

At the University of Exeter, I teach foreign policy analysis and Chinese diplomacy. I am also the director of the MA Diplomacy and Foreign Policy programme.
