Her research addresses how rising powers, like China and India, address the norms and provisions for a global security order. She is particularly interested in how status affects these states as they address United Nations peacekeeping, intervention, and the responsibility to protect. Her forthcoming Oxford University Press book explains China's varied response to intervention at the United Nations Security Council. Her research has been supported by a Hong Kong Research Grants Council Government Research Fund grant (GRF), a Hong Kong Research Grants Council Early Career Scheme (ECS) award, the Konosuke Matsushita Memorial Foundation, and the Scaife Foundation.
