Yee-Fui was a 2021-22 Fulbright Scholar and undertook research at New York University on the digital welfare state. Her work has been cited by the High Court of Australia, State Supreme Courts, federal and state parliaments, as well as various government inquiries.

Yee-Fui’s research focuses on strengthening political institutions and enhancing executive accountability. During her Fellowship, she is examining the institutional design and operational effectiveness of anti-corruption commissions across Australia.

Her work offers a nuanced analysis of independence, accountability, and performance measurement—providing practical recommendations for reforming integrity institutions. As she notes, identifying strategies and institutional arrangements that facilitate effective governance could significantly enhance the success of anti-corruption efforts.
