Hello!

I am a global historian, focusing particularly on the transnational connections between Germany and China from c. 1800 to the present. I am broadly interested in the histories of imperialism, religion, and medicine. 

Born in the United States, I grew up in Hsinchu, Taiwan. After graduating from high school in Taiwan, I studied history at Columbia University in New York City. After studying German in Berlin, I pursued a doctorate in history at the University of California, Berkeley. I received my Ph.D in 2013, and I am currently an Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. Previously, I taught at the American University of Paris.

Please feel free to get in touch.
