Background
I am a PhD student in Education at the University of Edinburgh, working at the intersection of educational leadership, education policy, artificial intelligence in education (AIED), and school practice in China. My doctoral research examines how educational leaders navigate AI-related policy expectations into workable practices in Chinese secondary schools. My broader academic trajectory connects digital media and film, education, emerging technologies, and qualitative research. Alongside my academic work, I have a background in film production and AI film-making, with practical experience in producing, directing, and cinematography, which informs my interdisciplinary interest in media, technology, education, and cultural experience.
