Biography

I’m a PhD student in History and Philosophy of Science and a Gates Cambridge Scholar, exploring how knowledge was produced and circulated across cultures. My interests span two intersecting areas: the print and material culture of early modern sciences, and knowledge exchanges between China and Europe, with particular attention to Southeast Asia and the history of Sinology. I love bringing people together around historical objects, keeping projects running smoothly, and making sure that ideas have tangible impact beyond the academy. Alongside research, I've worked closely with collections, taught undergraduates, translated between Chinese and English, volunteered with museums and archives, organised reading groups, and helped run events and conferences. I expect to complete my PhD within the next two years and I'm exploring next steps that combine research, organisation, and communication. I'm particularly excited about opportunities in scientific and cultural collections, the public sector, and research policy and administration.
