PhD in Privacy Law and Facial Recognition Technology, Deakin University
Hello there. As an accomplished and driven PhD candidate at Deakin University, specialising in Tech, Facial Recognition and Information Security Law, I strive for an academic excellence and extensive legal experience. With over a decade of involvement in both academia and the legal profession, I am amazed by changes that are coming to the legal world.

At my position of an Associate Law Professor at Zhejiang Gongshang University Law School, I garnered recognition for my exceptional teaching abilities, receiving multiple accolades including the Law School's Outstanding Teacher Award. Prior to embarking on my current doctoral journey, I accumulated valuable practical expertise as an arbitration lawyer, legal advisor, and in-house counsel, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of various facets of the legal landscape.

In addition to my professional accomplishments, I have contributed significantly to the legal field through the publication of articles on international commercial arbitration and mediation, as well as authoring a book focusing on mediation agreements. I am also proud to hold an LL.M. degree from the esteemed University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.

My research interests span a wide range of areas, including smart contracts, international arbitration law, mediation and negotiation, international maritime law, IP law, and tech law. With a genuine passion for education and student development, I am looking forward to discussion of various topics on this platform.
