In 2015, I was awarded the Pete Hay Prize by the the Australian Political Studies Association. In 2014, I was selected a World Social Science Fellow by the International Social Science Council. I am also recipient of the Li Ka Shing Prize, Dr. Stephen S.F. Hui Prizes, and Ada and Arthur Hill Prize from the University of Hong Kong.
I am author of ‘Carbon Trading in China’ , published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2016.
