Hello,

I am a fellow in the Technology and International Affairs Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where I work on global AI development and governance with a focus on China.

I have contributed to landmark reports shaping global understanding of frontier AI capabilities and policy. I served as lead writer of the California Report on Frontier AI Policy, commissioned by California Governor Gavin Newsom, which informed SB-53—the United States' first law governing frontier AI systems. I was also a writer on the second International AI Safety Report, led by Professor Yoshua Bengio.

I co-founded the Oxford China Policy Lab, a research group that seeks to mitigate structural risks in the U.S.-China relationship. I am also an affiliate of the Oxford Martin School AI Governance Initiative. My work has been published in Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Science, and The Washington Post and has been covered in outlets including The Atlantic, BBC, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, The Guardian, NBC News, The New York Times, Nikkei Asia, POLITICO, SCMP, TIME, Transformer, The Verge, Vox, The Washington Post, WIRED, and The Wire China.

I hold a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Oxford, where I was a Clarendon Scholar. Before that, I completed an MPhil with Distinction in International Relations from Oxford and a BA in Economics and Fundamentals: Issues and Texts from the University of Chicago. I was a National Bureau of Asian Research Chinese Language Fellow at the International Chinese Language Program in Taipei and am professionally fluent in Mandarin.
