I am a PhD Candidate in Sociology at the University of Hong Kong. My research interests include migration and immigration, refugee studies, and urban sociology. Currently, I am researching the trend of politically driven emigration from Hong Kong. I am also interested in the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees in Hong Kong, with a particular focus on their settlement processes and outcomes.
