Her PhD dissertation entitled "Evolution in China's South China Sea Policy Process: A Neoclassical Realism Explanation" focuses primarily on explaining how structural factors and elites' perception (after being filtered by relevant domestic considerations) contribute to the evolution of China's South China Sea policy, as well as the evolution in the patterns of pluralisation in the policy process from 1949-2017. Her research concentrates mainly on China's foreign policy, the South China Sea, Southeast Asian responses to the Belt and Road Initiative, and East Asian Security.
