I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Archaeology. 

After completing my Bachelor at the Art Institute of Chicago, I embarked on a Master degree in Comparative Art and Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL. During my study at the IoA, I saw the potential of the comparative approach in answering archaeological questions. My master thesis looked at the iconography of gender roles in Classical Greece and Han Dynasty China under the supervision of Prof. Jeremy Tanner, .

My PhD research continues to focus on Sino-Hellenic comparison with a sustained interst in gender issues and social development. I am currently looking at the construction of social identity in Early Iron Age Greek and Eastern Zhou Dynasty rich burials.
