Qualified and admitted to practise in Australia, Winnie is an established academic with special focus on international arbitration, mediation and conflict of laws. She writes and published extensively and one of her works - “Public Policy in the Enforcement of Arbitral Awards: Lessons for and from Australia”, has achieved
more than 16,000 full-text downloads. She now serves on the editorial boards of Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal and Chinese (Taiwan) Yearbook of

Unknown to many, Winnie was a key member of an international team of experts from Taiwan, Australia and Singapore (2012-2016) which initiated a project and
presented a draft convention and submission to the United Nations which culminated in the “UN Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation” (Singapore Convention 2019).

Winnie’s academic background and her experience at the CAA launched her into the practice of international arbitration. Apart from the CAA, she is also on the CAA International Arbitration Centre and Hainan International Arbitration Court.
