I'm a Ph.D. student studying Chinese politics at the Harvard Government Department.  My research focuses on the politics of urban planning, particularly detailed development restrictions (zoning in America, 控制性详细规划 in China).  My research extends more broadly to municipal politics in China.

In addition, I have in the past conducted research on village redevelopment in rural China, and maintain an interest in China's evolving rural politics.

For those in the Boston area studying urban China, I help organize the Urban China Seminar.
