Adrian Chiu is a political scientist whose research focuses on Taiwan-Hong Kong relations, identity and party politics, with broader research interests in cross-Strait relations, China's international relations and social movements. 

He holds a PhD in Politics and International Studies from SOAS University of London, where his doctoral research examined post-handover political party interactions between Taiwan and Hong Kong through an ontological security framework. 

He has taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Chinese politics, international relations, comparative politics, nationalism, political parties and elections, and political analysis. He is also the editor of Taiwan Insight, coordinating academic and policy contributions and working with scholars, analysts and practitioners across Taiwan, the UK and internationally.

His research has been published in journals including the International Journal of Taiwan Studies, East Asian Policy and Contemporary Chinese Political Economy, as well as in edited volumes. His current project develops his doctoral research into a book on Taiwan–Hong Kong party interactions from 1997 to 2020, examining how political relationships emerge, change and disappear under conditions of political liminality.
