Mein Werdegang

I am currently Head of the Research Area China-Taiwan Relations and Senior Lecturer at the University of Zurich, with a focus on Chinese and Taiwanese studies. I have held research positions and taught China Studies and Taiwan Studies at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in Italy, at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and at National Cheng’chi University in Taiwan.

I am also research fellow of the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan (ERCCT) in Tübingen, Germany, a research associate of SOAS, London and Senior Fellow on Taiwan at the Center for China Analysis (Asia Society Policy Institute, ASPI) in New York.

My latest co-edited volume: ‘Changing Dynamics in Geopolitics: Implications for Taiwan’, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in October 2025. I regularly contributes to Swiss and global media through articles, commentaries and interviews.
