Overview
About Me
I love reading, camping, hiking, climbing and traveling. I always believe that it's more about the people you are with than the things you are doing. That's why no matter where I am I love to have good conversations on everything from politics, poetry to religion, entrepreneurship technology, economics, social issues or philosophy.

My area of specialization is Chinese Religions, with a focus on the “esoteric” traditions of medieval Buddhism and early medieval Taoism. Broadly speaking, I am interested in how trends or developments in Chinese intellectual history were reflected in the discourse of various religious traditions. More pointedly, I aim to uncover the ways in which soteriological narratives or techniques, particularly those that translate into bio-spiritual disciplines known as “nourishing life” (yangsheng), mirror evolving sociopolitical contexts, scientific discoveries, and medical achievements. As these often involve the use of tangible instruments and concrete objects such as talismans, cosmographs, or elixirs, material culture and even iconography are important facets of my work. I am into the circulation of knowledge across what are often imposed or constructed analytical boundaries, between, for instance, statecraft and religion, science and belief, medicine and ritual, and Taoism and Buddhism. Many of these distinctions are vestiges of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment anti-clericalism, classificatory frenzies, and political theory. I try to examine early modern representations of China and the central role of religion in the formulation of Orientalist discourses and their subsequent re-appropriation by East Asian societies.

I'm a very happy person usually laughing and joking around. Willing to chill, go on hikes, grab dinner, talk, and just let things go how they go with no need to plan our do anything.
