About ME
I am a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Adelaide. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow under the supervision of Prof. Maartje Schermer at Erasmus MC, Netherlands (2020 - 2022).
I received my doctorate from the Department of Philosophy at Monash University, Australia in 2019. Before commencing my PhD study at Monash, I obtained my MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge in 2013 and my BA in Philosophy at National Taiwan University in 2012.
I am a lecturer at the Department of Philosophy, Adelaide University. My research primarily lies at the intersection of bioethics and political philosophy. I am especially interested in the ethical and philosophical issues raised by human enhancement technologies. While most of my publications address moral bioenhancement (i.e. the use of biomedical means to improve morality), I am also interested in issues related to the treatment of morally relevant psychiatric conditions, philosophy of medicine, philosophy of science, philosophy of education, and Chinese Philosophy. Currently, I am developing a research project on epistemic virtues and medical diagnostics, with a special focus on medical AI.
As a non-English native speaker & female, I am motivated to help people from similar backgrounds excel. I've been invited by the Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) at Melbourne Uni to contribute a short piece for their FAQ campaign, sharing my experience about what it is like to do a postgraduate degree in an English-speaking country as a non-native English Speaker and also the strategies I used to help myself overcome language barriers with other students. I would love to be part of any similar initiatives. Please do let me know if you feel I may be of help.
