About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut (UConn). I specialize in ethics (including AI and tech ethics), social and political philosophy, and feminist philosophy. I also have research interests in developing Taiwanese philosophy, an area that is still in its embryonic stage.

My research concerned the unfair constraints that social structures impose on different groups of people, referred to as structural injustice. I have been developing a philosophical framework for analyzing and remedying structural injustice. I also use this framework to analyze various contemporary social issues, including sexual violence, transnational migration, and algorithmic bias and injustice. My research can be found in leading philosophy journals and interdisciplinary venues, including Feminist Philosophy Quarterly, Hypatia, and Philosophy and Technology.

Before joining UConn, I was an Interdisciplinary Ethics Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University, with a joint affiliation at the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society (EiS) and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, where I also received a Graduate Certificate in women’s and gender studies. Before coming to Rutgers, I earned my M.A. in philosophy at Texas Tech University and completed my B.S. in life science at National Taiwan University.
