I am an award-winning social scientist and author of The Lonely Generation (Best Book Prize, Association for Asian Studies). My work examines gender, crime, demographic change, social networks, and the future of work through rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods and global comparative perspectives. I provide data-driven, forward-looking insights to academic institutions, corporations, investors, policy organizations, and public audiences.
I regularly deliver keynote lectures, invited talks, and strategic consultations on topics including gender and labor market transformations, fertility and demographic shifts, social networks and political behavior, AI and robotization, criminal justice, and cross-national research methods. My strength lies in translating complex data into clear, compelling, and action-oriented insights. I help organizations anticipate macro trends and make informed decisions in a rapidly changing world.
