Biography
Supported by the School of Arts Tim Liang Scholarship, Yuxi Pan's doctoral research focuses on the art and archaeology of the Mongol Empire.
Her Ph.D. project explores the social aesthetics inherent in the representation of horses in the art and visual culture of Yuan China and the broader Mongol Empire. Her research also examines the global transmission of iconographies, images, and artifacts during the late medieval to early modern periods.

At Beijing's Red Brick Art Museum, she served as Head of Library and Archives, where she spearheaded extensive research, expansion, and digitization of the museum's collection of contemporary art books and archives. She contributed many exhibition reviews to publications like The Art Newspaper China.
