Connecting Technology, Society, and Nature

I am a PhD candidate at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and the Sino-Danish Center (SDC), a research collaboration between Denmark and China. My research examines the intersection of digital government and sustainable development through an ecological lens. I am particularly interested in complex governance structures, stakeholder collaboration, and data governance, studied through the case of the Digital Twin Yellow River strategy in China. 

Through my work, I aim to: 

- Strengthen sustainability efforts through digital governance 

- Support collaboration among diverse stakeholders 

My vision is to contribute to sustainable ecologies where technology, society, and nature are connected to foster more resilient futures.
