Alvin is a postdoctoral research fellow at the ANU College of Law. His research bridges law, technology, and societal values, with a focus on socio-legal and comparative perspectives in areas such as blockchain and AI. He explores how technology shapes diverse aspects of society, particularly in property, employment, and human relationships within organisations. He examines how regulatory dynamics of technologies differ across societies, and the ways in which they reflect or reinforce existing ideologies and power structures. His research has been published in leading law and interdisciplinary journals, including Big Data & Society, Asian Journal of Comparative Law, International Journal of Law in Context, Chinese Journal of Comparative Law, Asian Journal of Law and Society, Work, Employment & Society, and Law and Humanities. He’s also contributed to several tech-focused law journals in the US. Alvin holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford, an LLM from the London School of Economics, and an LLB from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Before entering academia, he practiced law as a solicitor in Hong Kong.
