I examine marine conservation policy and governance, from local to global scales. I explore how decisions are made, how science and other kinds of knowledge inform these decisions, how various actors influence decision-making processes, and who benefits (or loses) as a result.
My research lies in the field of global environmental governance, focusing primarily on the role of cities and transnational city-networks in reducing the world's global carbon footprint.
Dr. Gong’s research interests cover various topics in the broad area of visual computing (including computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, image processing, and pattern recognition).
I am interested in German and Austrian literature and thought from the late 18th to the early 20th century. My focus is on the fantastic and uncanny, myth and fairy tales. My current research deals with the aesthetics of terror in the romantic period.
