I am currently working in analytic jurisprudence, focusing on legal normativity, the theory of human nature, and causal decision theory. My research follows the discussion of post-Hartian jurisprudence in the English-speaking world and seeks to approach it from the perspective of theories of human nature, particularly those found in Confucianism and Legalism.

Before joining ANU, I worked as a legal researcher at the Science and Technology Law Institute, Innovation and Intellectual Property Center. I also volunteered with the Taiwan Alliance to End the Death Penalty and assisted a professor in drafting an amicus curiae brief for a constitutional case concerning the death penalty, representing the jurisprudential perspective. During my studies, I participated in projects at National Taiwan University and Academia Sinica, where I deciphered and translated legal literature and government documents produced in Taiwan under Japanese rule, rendering Classical Japanese texts into Taiwanese Mandarin.
