Bio
I am an assistant professor in the Department of History at the State University of New York, Buffalo. As a scholar of Chinese history and the history of medicine, I specialize in the medical culture of medieval China with particular interests in pharmacology, religious healing, alchemy, the history of senses and emotions, and the circulation of medical knowledge in the global context.
I hold a Ph.D. in History of Science at Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. Before joining Buffalo, I was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto (2015-16).
My first book, Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China, has been recently published by the University of Washington Press. The book offers a cultural history of poisons as healing agents in the formative age of Chinese pharmacology (200–800), highlighting the shifting boundary between medicines and poisons as shaped by technical, political, and cultural conditions.
Research Interests
As a scholar of Chinese history and the history of medicine, I specialize in the medical culture of medieval China with particular interests in pharmacology, religious healing, alchemy, the history of senses and emotions, and the circulation of medical knowledge in the global context. My first book, Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China, was published by the University of Washington Press in June 2021. The book offers a cultural history of poisons as healing agents in the formative age of Chinese pharmacology (200–800), highlighting the shifting boundary between medicines and poisons as shaped by technical, political, and cultural conditions. My second book project, tentatively titled Scent from Afar: A Transcultural History of Aromatics in Medieval China, explores the circulation of aromatics along the Silk Road, the local integration of imported knowledge, and the history of smells.
Teaching Interests
I teach courses on both Asian history and the history of medicine. Besides the courses listed above, I also plan to offer the following courses: History of Poisons (HIS 199), China in the World (HIS 391), History of Epidemics, History of the Senses. I am keen in introducing comparative perspectives into my teaching to broaden students’ horizons, and trying creative assignments (multimedia productions, for example) to enrich their learning experience.
