Welcome

I am Professor of Political Science at McMaster University, ON Canada. My research focuses on the sources of authoritarian resilience and political representation of ethnic minorities and women in East and Southeast Asia. Currently, I am working on gerrymandering in Singapore, ethnic quota and a SSHRC grant project on online harms against women’s political participation in Asia.

*As of 2026: I will be interested in supervising graduate students interested in digital authoritarianism and online harms from a mixed research approach. For PhD applicants, please refer to Political Science Department website.

You will find more information about my research, teaching and collaborative activities on this website.

Thank you for visiting!
