I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, but received most of my education in the UK. I obtained my BA, MSci, and PhD from the University of Cambridge. I then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics in Toronto, Canada, followed by a Steward Theory Fellowship at the University of Arizona, Tucson, USA. I took up my current faculty position at ASIAA in late 2016.
