I received my Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.S.D.) from the University of Chicago Law School, USA. In July 2024, I started a fixed-term position as Project Associate Professor in the Faculty and Graduate School of Law, Kobe University, Japan.

My research interests lie at the intersection of comparative constitutional law, law and democracy, and national security law. I am particularly interested in how constitutional institutions (including courts) formulate the constitutional membership, boundary, and substance of their political communities. Beyond this, I am also interested in legislation and regulation, as well as the theories and history of public law. 

My dissertation titled "Judicial Oversight of National Security Policy in Ontologically Contested Democracies" uses interdisciplinary methods to explore how constitutional courts under geopolitical distress adjudicate national security issues. I examine the constitutional courts of South Korea, Taiwan, and Lithuania regarding how they mediate domestic conflicts regarding the identity and interests of their political communities.

At Kobe University, I will teach comparative constitutional law. Prior to my position at Kobe, I TA'ed for Intro to Law, Letters, and Society, a prerequisite course for the program of Law, Letters, and Society at UChicago.

My publications appear in both academic and public writing formats.

Prior to my J.S.D. studies, I received a LL.M. from UChicago Law School, a LL.M. and LL.B. from National Taiwan University, Taiwan (R.O.C.). I practiced in Baker McKenzie (Taipei Office) for nearly two years.
