While at Yale, he served as Speaker of the Yale Political Union and Chair of the Liberal Party, edited the Yale Review for International Studies and was involved with the World Fellows Program. Adrian has done research on human rights and national security, and translates Chinese legal cases for the China Guiding Cases Project at Stanford Law School.

In his free time Adrian also enjoys classical music, photography, and talking more about politics.
