My research interests include economic sociology, social capital, medical sociology, genetics and social behaviors and comparative/historical studies. Specifically, I have worked on a project where the link between micro- and macro social capital is searched through a voluntary organizational context. Comparison of social support structures between countries has also been a fruitful research topic. In terms of labor market stratification research, I have studied the effect of socio-demographic diversity of social ties on status attainment. My dissertation also focuses on the efficacy of individual social capital on socioeconomic mobility in the labor markets in the United States, China, and Taiwan. Another research interest of mine has been to verify the genetic effect on social behaviors such as volunteering.
