Hey! I am a PhD student at Indiana University School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering (Luddy). My research investigates the interactions between science, technology, and society, focusing on three main threads: (i) the driving forces behind regional knowledge production capacity and how science and innovation can be leveraged to reduce regional economic inequality; (ii) the funding investment behind global science and the associated benefits and risks of foreign scientific investment; and (iii) how political events—such as Brexit and China’s Belt and Road Initiative—have influenced national scientific development and global cooperation.

I am a recipient of several awards, including the Humane Studies Fellowship and the Excellence in Research (2022) award from the Luddy School.
