Primary research areas

Sci­ence Cit­ies & In­nov­a­tion Eco­sys­tems
I ex­plore the char­ac­ter­ist­ics and evol­u­tion­ary pat­terns of Sci­ence Cit­ies as a new type of func­tion­al area. My re­search fo­cuses on how to bet­ter foster an in­nov­a­tion eco­sys­tem through policy guid­ance and sup­port.
Na­tion­al In­nov­a­tion Sys­tems (NIS)
My work dis­cusses the syn­ergy between pro­act­ive gov­ern­ment and ef­fi­cient mar­kets to en­hance the over­all per­form­ance of na­tion­al in­nov­a­tion sys­tems. I am par­tic­u­larly in­ter­ested in com­par­at­ive stud­ies between the Dan­ish (European) and Chinese in­nov­a­tion sys­tems.
Sci­ence Dip­lomacy
Sci­ence dip­lomacy as a stra­tegic tool to tran­scend polit­ic­al di­vides and foster in­ter­na­tion­al col­lab­or­a­tion. I am in­ter­ested in its sig­ni­fic­ant role in ad­van­cing glob­al sci­entif­ic and tech­no­lo­gic­al in­flu­ence, safe­guard­ing na­tion­al se­cur­ity, and ad­dress­ing glob­al chal­lenges.
In­dus­tri­al Policy & Geoe­co­nom­ics
I am cur­rently in­ter­ested in the policy design for stra­tegic sec­tors such as Elec­tric Vehicles (EVs) and crit­ic­al min­er­als.

My re­search in­terests

Developing Science Cities is a strategic choice to follow the global trend of innovation clustering and to enhance national competitiveness. It is a common path for countries worldwide to strengthen their innovation capabilities by building core spatial hubs.

My research aims to create an integrated framework to understand how science city innovation ecosystems work. Through comparative studies, I explore the Isomorphism and Difference among major science cities in terms of institutional design, organizational structures, and policy tools, thereby undrstanding the evolutionary patterns of the science city innovation ecosystem. 

In a changing global landscape, I hope to use these international insights to provide practical policy advice for the high-quality and sustainable development of science cities in China.
