Biography

Linlan Huang has been working as a doctoral researcher at CeDEP of SOAS, University of London since 2016. As Linlan received intensive training in different subjects, such as law, East Asian relations, political economy, climate change and development, he is keen on using an interdisciplinary approach to examine climate/energy cooperation between China and other East Asian countries.

Before joining SOAS, Linlan earned his MSc and LLM degrees from the University of Edinburgh, where he was supervised by the head of Asian Studies Department, Prof. Urs Mattias Zachmann, taught by the senior scholar of international law, Prof. Alan Boyle.

In 2013, Linlan was one of six Chinese visiting scholars, who were selected and sponsored to attend the legal training programme hosted by Universiteit Urtrecht and Netherlands Institute of Human Rights, where he received the reference from the director, Prof Tom Zwart. He also took the appointment from the Chinese Official Delegation visiting the UK to serve as a legal translator.

Linlan’s current research project involves Sino-Japanese Cooperation on Clean Coal Technologies (CCTs), which does not only show economic and environmental values to the two neighbours, but also releases positive signals to the regional stability and global climate governance.
