I am a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, affiliated with the Hoover History Lab, where I study the evolving relationship between China and Latin America from 1949 to the present, with particular attention to the implications for US strategies toward Chinese engagement in the region.

My research examines how area expertise knowledge has developed across borders, traces innovative political and commercial initiatives, analyzes Chinese immigration patterns in the Americas, and studies cultural exchanges that have shaped both elite and public perceptions in these regions. Drawing on primary sources from thirteen countries—including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Taiwan, the UK, the US, and Uruguay—I take a truly transnational approach to understanding this complex relationship.

This work contributes to multiple interconnected fields: Latin American History, Chinese History, Diplomatic History, Business History, Immigration and Ethnic History, International Relations, and contemporary China-Global South Studies.
