- Education: Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from State University of New York at Buffalo (2004); MA and BA from National Taiwan University and National Chung Hsing University respectively.
His research interrogates cross-cultural encounters, libidinal economies in postcolonial societies, and the paradoxical entanglements of Cold War modernism in Taiwan.

Key contributions appear in Critical Arts, Concentric, and Chung Wai Literary Quarterly, with monographs like The Soldier-Writer, the Expatriate, and Cold War Modernism in Taiwan (Lexington Books, 2022) and The Indivisible Globe, the Indissoluble Nation (ibidem Press, 2021). Recent projects explore carnival masking in Caribbean-Taiwan comparisons and traumatic memory in postcolonial contexts.
