His research interests are composed of three parts: regional organizations at the three major monasteries of Lhasa, disaster relief organizations, and traditional mutual-aid organizations in modern and contemporary Tibet.

During his stay at the Harvard-Yenching Institute, he will use disaster as a point of departure to study the relationships among Tibetans, the environment and institutions.
