About me...
As a researcher, my interests include video game studies, critical theory, gender and sexuality studies, postcolonial studies, and Hong Kong literature and cultural studies, etc. Other than academic research, I am also keen on taking part in various non-academic projects to hone my skills and exchange ideas with people from different fields. Feel free to connect with me if you think there's something we can work together!
