Epistemology, Philosophy of Language, 

Philosophy of AI,
Classical Chinese Philosophy

​​​

I am a Lecturer (equiv. Assistant Prof., non-tenured) at King’s College London. This year, I am teaching philosophy of medicine for the MBBS medical degree programme at the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine and philosophy of race and applied ethics at the Department of Philosophy. 

​

My research interests include epistemology, philosophy of AI, philosophy of language, and classical Chinese philosophy. More specifically, my work focuses on the nature of understanding, using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophical analysis, psychological theories of comprehension, and corpus-based linguistic investigation.I examine the factivity and gradability of understanding  in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

​

Building on my account of understanding, I further investigate whether AIs have understanding, as well as the relationship between AI-generated misinformation and misunderstanding.

​

As for classical Chinese philosophy, I work on topics in epistemology, language, moral psychology, and aesthetics, with a specific focus on Xúnzǐ and Mohism. 

​

I also have a particular interest in linguistic research on Cantonese and how it might contribute to current philosophical discussions.

​​

I earned my PhD from King’s College London under the supervision of Dr Julien Dutant. I passed without corrections in Oct 2025, examined by Prof. Alexander Bird (Cambridge) and Prof. Alison Hills (Oxford). ​​I also obtained a B.A. and an M.Phil. from the University of Hong Kong.
