I am a Taipei-based doctoral candidate at Waseda University, Japan. My doctoral research focuses on colonial education in Taiwan and Malaysia, giving me a strong academic foundation in Taiwanese society, politics, and modern East Asian history. Since September 2025, I have been a research grant recipient at Academia Sinica. Through this role, I am familiar with navigating Taiwanese academic and cultural environments and have experience supporting research preparation, background briefings, and on-the-ground coordination. I am fluent in Mandarin and Japanese, with professional working proficiency in English and conversational ability in Taiwanese. I am comfortable working with Chinese-language sources, conducting preliminary outreach, and assisting international writers in understanding local contexts and sensitivities. I am particularly interested in contributing to projects that help international audiences gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Taiwanese society.
