Research Interests
My research interests have focused on urban and economic geography with a regional specialty in East Asia and China. My cultural background and research experiences in East Asia, especially in China, have formulated my research on the geographical study East Asian urban system and spatial economic phenomena. My recent work emphasizes the changing spatial structure and functional transformation of China's Cities and regional economy. I am expanding my research interest to the Northern Rocky mountain area, including population, land use change as well as town and regional economic development.
