Personal bio

I am an assistant professor at Durham Law School. I teach and research international commercial dispute resolution, commercial mediation and investment law. I have a PhD in Laws degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and an LLM degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. My doctorate thesis topic is third-party funding in investment arbitration. I have work experience and many publications in reputable journals and blogs. I gave arbitration lectures in 15 jurisdictions including the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Hong Kong, Turkey, Luxembourg, Macao, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Canada, Israel, India, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. I spent an academic year at Stanford University in 2019–2020 and two months at the Max Planck Institute in Luxembourg in 2021 as a visiting scholar. I am a triple-qualified lawyer admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales and an attorney in California and Turkey. I am also a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. I am available for appointments to act as an arbitrator or counsel.
