Editor-in-Chief, The Shanghai Literary Review
Researcher & lecturer, University of Vienna
I’m also a book, art, and music critic, and my writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Guardian, amongst many other places.
As a scholar, my primary specialism is European Romanticism, although I have secondary research interests in intercultural encounters between Europe and Asia, specifically through literature and art.
I completed a PhD (German Studies) and MA (English Literature) at the University of Warwick (UK).
EIF
At the European Investment Fund (EIF), I write on a range of subjects related to finance and technology, including artificial intelligence, fintech, and New Space. More generally, my work focuses on the European venture capital (VC) and startup ecosystems.
Trality
As part of a dedicated and agile fintech team based in Vienna, I wrote about algorithmic-based financial trading, covering topics such as technical and fundamental analysis as well as trading strategies, quantitative trading, market trends, and decentralized finance.
TSLR
In addition to the section editor for reviews and interviews, I am also the editor-in-chief of The Shanghai Literary Review, a print magazine that features contemporary fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, and translation.
Outside of my academic research, I continue to write extensively on contemporary literature, art, and music from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore (e.g., The New York Times, The Guardian, The Japan Times, Los Angeles Review of Books, Asian Review of Books, Mekong Review, ArtAsiaPacific, China File, Sixth Tone, South China Morning Post, Radii China, Hong Kong Review of Books, Neocha, and The World of Chinese).
Sonst stünde dieser Stein entstellt und kurz
unter der Schultern durchsichtigem Sturz
und flimmerte nicht so wie Raubtierfelle;
und bräche nicht aus allen seinen Rändern
aus wie ein Stern: denn da ist keine Stelle,
die dich nicht sieht. Du mußt dein Leben ändern.
