She is a Departmental Lecturer in the Politics and International Relations of China. She holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford, and previously taught Chinese diplomacy and global governance at Sciences Po Paris, and was the postdoctoral China Policy Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

She has also held research positions at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, EGMONT – The Royal Institute for International Relations in Brussels, and the Centre de recherches internationales in Paris. Prior to academia, she worked at the Delegation of the European Union to China in Beijing and the UN Representation Office to the EU in Brussels.

My research relates to the international relations of China; the interlinkages between Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy; the study and practice of diplomacy; international relations theory and negotiation analysis. I am especially interested in examining how China could more effectively engage with the world to manage and solve pressing transnational problems, with a particular emphasis on climate change, trade, and AI governance.
