Hi, I'm Jie. Welcome to my site. 

I'm a philosophy PhD candidate at Rice University. I'm currently working on my dissertation titled "Aristotle's Energeia-based Pleasure." 

My research centers on Aristotle's ethics, with broader explorations into Aristotle's metaphysics, epistemology, and ontology.

I'm also interested in moral psychology, bioethics and feminist philosophy. I'm passionate about research collaborations on projects related to emotions, parental care, relationships and family dynamics. If you are working on projects associated with these subjects or if you have ideas for potential collaborations, I would be delighted to discuss and explore opportunities to work together.
