My work examines ancient Greek and early Chinese thought. As a Chinese-born classicist trained in both Chinese and Graeco-Roman classics, I have long been interested in how different civilisations have approached some of the most fundamental questions in life concerning human nature, education, and human flourishing.

Being bilingual in Chinese and English and trained in both traditions allows me to combine close textual study with broader philosophical and comparative inquiry. 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.
