About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Accounting at National Chengchi University. I received my Ph.D. in Accounting from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2018. My research centers on corporate tax planning and information disclosure. I also work on topics spanning ESG, director networks, shareholder litigation, and corporate finance issues including mergers and acquisitions, innovation, and cash holdings. My work has been published in journals such as Contemporary Accounting Research, The International Journal of Accounting, Pacific-Basin Finance Journal, and Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting.

I currently serve as Conference Associate Editor for the Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance (JAAF) Conference. Before entering academia, I worked as an auditor at Deloitte Taiwan (2008–2009).
