Welcome! My name is Ze Han. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University, advised by Professors Helen V. Milner, Rory Truex, and James Raymond Vreeland. My research interests include foreign direct investment (FDI), populism, China, and text analysis. My research is supported by the Dean's Completion Fellowship, the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance (NCGG), the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice, the Paul and Marcia Wythes Center on Contemporary China (CCC), and the Multi-Center Graduate Student Dissertation Grant.

Prior to my time at Princeton, I earned a B.A. in International Politics from the University of International Relations in China and a double M.A. in Diplomacy and Public Policy from Peking University in China and the University of Tokyo in Japan, both with the highest honors.
