Trained as an architect, I am an independent researcher and occasional lecturer based in Hong Kong and Paris, affiliated with the University of Hong Kong and University College Dublin.

My research is broadly at the intersection of activism, internet culture, infrastructure, food spaces, and the politics of public space.

I am currently working on various publications, with topics including sensemaking in Hong Kong's public spaces governance through Dama square dancing, food and cultural spaces in the regeneration of Paris' La Petite Ceinture, architectural education post-May 68, and Hong Kong's infrastructure of political consumption.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies and a Master of Architecture from the University of Hong Kong.
I am a core member of Docomomo Hong Kong (International Committee for Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites, and Neighbhourhoods of the Modern Movement), and a member of the International Planning History Society (IPHS), and the International Association for the Study of Traditional Environments (IASTE).
