Curriculum vitae
Areas of expertise and research interests
I am an Associate Professor of Premodern Chinese Literature and Classical Chinese at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. My research focuses on the history of thought, literati culture, and autobiographical writings, with particular emphasis on the historiography, biographical and autobiographical writings.
I studied Sinology, Mongolian Studies, and Tibetan Studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), where I completed my PhD in 2016 with a dissertation on the Hou Han shu by Fan Ye, a major historiographical work of early medieval China. In 2025, I completed my habilitation on the thought and writings of intellectuals in the treaty ports of Shanghai, particularly those associated with the London Missionary Society.
I have taught Classical Chinese and the history of philosophy at the universities of Munich, Bonn, and Venice. Since 2012, I have been involved in the collaborative translation project of the Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), to which I have contributed a translated chapter. Since 2023, I have also been one of the editors of the Journal of Asian History.
