I am a Research Assistant Professor at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor at Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan. I was awarded a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Hong Kong. I obtain my Master of Art from the Australian National University and my Bachelor of Philosophy and Bachelor of Science in psychology from East China Normal University. 

 

My specialization is primarily in normative and applied ethics on risk. I also co-author and collaborate with psychologists on behavioral ethics with a particular focus on moral decision-making under uncertainty. I also work on the ethics of AI, on a project of a hybrid model for moral A.Is. 

I am on the editorial board of Asian Journal of Philosophy. Apart from being a philosopher, I am also a registered psychology counselor in China.
