His work investigates how migration experiences function as cultural capital, the racialization of East/Southeast Asians, and pandemic-era vulnerability among Chinese international students. Current projects analyze transnational charity practices and identity reconstruction within skilled migrant support groups.
His publications (2019-2024) consistently explore Chinese diaspora dynamics across Wenzhou, Fuqing, and UK settings, revealing transnational connections in migration policies, remittance systems, and community support structures.
