Bio

My work explores intellectual traditions across cultures, with particular interests in ancient Greek and early Chinese thought, moral education, and intercultural learning.

My research often brings Greek and Chinese traditions into conversation. As a Chinese-born classicist trained in both Chinese and Graeco-Roman classics, I have long been interested in how different civilizations have approached some of the most fundamental questions in human life, including human nature, moral education, and the good life.

Being bilingual in Chinese and English and trained in both traditions allows me to engage closely with primary texts while also exploring the wider possibilities of cross-cultural scholarship. I am particularly interested in the methodological and intellectual challenges of comparative work, and in the role that dialogue between traditions can play in rethinking the study of the humanities and the classics in the twenty-first century.

Alongside my research, I have also contributed to Chinese language education through digital learning initiatives, collaborations with schools, and projects supporting teacher development. This work reflects a broader interest in how language learning can connect linguistic study with cultural and intellectual engagement.
