Fields of interest
My main fields of interest concern Chinese law, regulation and policy surrounding digital technology, at home and abroad. More broadly, I engage with topics including Chinese legal and political ideology, organisational structuring and participation in global affairs.
Research
At present, I am in charge of two major projects. My Vidi project, "The Smart State" explores how China is increasingly using data-enabled governance means to adapt itself to the challenges of the 21st Century and create a more effective administration. The LAC project on China and global cybersecurity seeks to assess the impact the country has on diplomatic and technical governance processes worldwide.
