I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Rochester. I go by Mei. 

I study international relations and formal political theory, with a focus on third-party intervention in interstate and intrastate conflicts. My dissertation examines what determines a third party's signaling and intervention strategies, and how the intervention affects conflict dynamics. I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market.

Before Rochester, I received a B.A. in International Politics from Renmin University of China.
