Cloe focuses on studying the challenges of domestic policy-making in the context of international governance. She has a particular interest in the theme of “Governance and the Sea,” reflecting her deep fascination with the complex interplay between national policies and global maritime management.
As an emerging scholar, Cloe is dedicated to enhancing the practical integration of social science perspectives into fisheries science and policy-making.
She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Cultural English Language and Literature from Sun Yat-sen University (China) between 2014 and 2018. During her undergraduate studies, she undertook a year-long exchange at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, immersing herself in language and cultural studies. Her Bachelor’s thesis, titled “The Solitude in James Joyce’s ‘Araby’,” reflects a personal journey of literary exploration and self-discovery.
Cloe continued her academic path by pursuing a Master’s degree in International Relations at the University of Macau, where her thesis examined the dynamics between international academic cooperation and the establishment of Confucius Institutes. She is currently a doctoral candidate, with her dissertation pioneering an investigation into how domestic fisheries policies influence international governance, employing causal inference methodologies and geographic information systems (GIS) data. Through this research, she has developed a keen interest in the visual aesthetics of maps and their role in policy analysis.
Looking ahead, Cloe aspires to contribute to fisheries governance by combining her expertise in policy research and visual representation. She has recently been selected as a trainee for the UNESCO-IOC WESTPAC program, marking a significant step in her journey toward advancing sustainable ocean governance.
