Brief Biography

Dr. Hung has two PhDs, one in philosophy, another in nano-physics. She is now a postdoctoral fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, working with Prof. Yao Zhihua, and a visiting assistant professor at New York University, Abu Dhabi.
 
Dr. Hung investigates the nature of the self from both the Western and Eastern perspectives with an analytic methodology. She aims to answer questions such as: What are we? How do we persist? She is generally interested in the philosophy of mind and metaphysics.
