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. 

​

My research interests include epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of AI, philosophy of medicine, and classical Chinese philosophy. More specifically, my work applies an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophical analysis, psychological theories of comprehension, and corpus-based linguistic investigation to explore the nature of understanding. I examine the factivity and gradability of understanding  in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin and further propose a pattern-fitting knowledge account of understanding

​

Building on my account of understanding, I further investigate the nature and psychology of misinformation, with a specific focus on medical misinformation and AI-generated misinformation.  

 

I investigate whether AIs have understanding, whether AIs support or hinder human understanding, evaluate the potential threat of AI-generated misinformation, and propose a novel misunderstanding-targeted intervention approach against misinformation. 

​

As for classical Chinese philosophy, I work on topics in epistemology, language, and moral psychology, 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.​​​​
