His research interests include conflict studies, security alliance, deterrence, and coercive bargaining. He also develops an interest in governance of fintech issues. In addition to his expertise on US-Taiwan relations, he recently pays attention to South Asia affairs.
His Ph.D. dissertation, "Holding Hands while Parting Ways", discusses alliance treaty renegotiation. He develops a theory on intra-alliance bargaining. The theory informs why such bargaining sometimes leads to treaty revision and sometimes does not. The dissertation employs quantitative statistical models based on Alliance Treaty Obligation and Provisions project and the original data on intra-alliance disputes. The dissertation also includes case studies. It examines Anglo-Japanese alliance (1902-1920) , Sino-Soviet alliance (1950-1969), and US-Taiwan alliance (1970s).
Ping-Kuei co-authored an article with Scott Kastner and William Reed on Issue and Studies. The article argues that the US arms sales to Taiwan serve as a costly signal that constrains China's aggression in the Taiwan Strait. The extended version of this paper is included in Taiwan and China edited by Lowell Dittmer. Over the past few years, Ping-Kuei has published articles on alliance politics in East Asia, Sino-India border dispute, financial regulatory sandbox, and China's Belt and Road Initiative. Recently, Ping-Kuei partners closely with Dr. Cheng-Yun Tsang and published interdisciplinary publications on governance of global finance. Their co-authored works can be found on Issue & Studies(Chinese), Asia Pacific Law Review, and Capital Markets Law Journal. Teaming up with Cheng-Yun Tsang and Yueh-Ping Yang, Ping-Kuei explores the question of Central Bank Digital Currency. The results of their collaboration is published on Northwestern Journal of Law and Business.
