Academic interests

My research explores technological and social changes relating to sustainability transitions, especially the co-evolutionary process of actors' strategies, institutional change along with the diffusion of low-carbon technological innovation. I am also interested to explore the role of transformative innovation policy in driving this process. My current research concerns both the speed and directionality of accelerating low-carbon energy transition in crossing sectors of electricity and mobility.

Background

I got my PhD from SPRU, University of Sussex (UK) with a research topic on actor interactions and niche acceleration of wind and solar power development in China. After finishing my PhD, I visited the Institutes of Science and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) for one year to conduct research on the evolution of China's research systems and STI policy.
