Epistemology, Philosophy of AI, Language, & Medicine Classical Chinese Philosophy

I am a Lecturer (equiv. Assistant Prof., non-tenured) at King’s College London. I teach philosophy of medicine for the MBBS medical degree programme at the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, together with a variety of philosophy modules at the Department of Philosophy.
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.
My research interests include epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of AI, philosophy of medicine, and classical Chinese philosophy. My work adopts an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together psychology, linguistics, and epistemology, as well as a cross-cultural perspective that engages with both European and Asian languages and with philosophical traditions from East and West. I am currently developing three research streams: a misunderstanding model of misinformation; the evaluation of AI moral capacities from a classical Chinese philosophical perspective; and cross-linguistic investigations of epistemic terms and their philosophical implications. You can find more details about these projects on my Research page.
