Welcome! 

I am a philosopher, legal scholar, and technologist and an Assistant Professor at Peking University School of Transnational Law. 

Previously, I held a fellowship at UCLA's Program for Law & Philosophy and before that, at Yale Law School’s Information Society Project, where I remain a lifetime fellow.

I have broad interests and a growing record of publications in law, legal philosophy, ethics, and political philosophy. 

I have an active research program in and regularly speak about the law and philosophy of AI. I was also among the first to call for greater research in AI Philosophy. Several years before the commercialization of LLMs and AI agents, I encouraged philosophers to specifically address statistical technologies and AI agents. I also argued that AI ethics and governance must engage how AI technologies actually work. 

I also have some papers in ancient Greek and Classical Chinese philosophy.

You can find out about my research in the Research page of this website. See my inventions in Patents.

I hold a JD and a PhD in legal philosophy from UC Berkeley. I  also hold a BA (in Rhetoric) from UC Berkeley and two master’s degrees, one in Classics (ancient philosophy) from St. Catharine's College, Cambridge  and one in Philosophy from Christ Church College, Oxford. 

I held a graduate research position at King's College, Cambridge during the 2019-20 academic year and a visiting membership of the Cambridge Forum for Legal and Political Philosophy at the University of Cambridge Law Faculty at several points between 2019-23.

I have also held visiting studentships in philosophy at Hamburg  (2019, 2021),  Köln  (2021) Regensburg (2019) and Lausanne (2022) universities.
