Dr. Shi is Associate Professor of History of Art at É«É«Ñо¿Ëù, specializing in early Chinese art with a particular emphasis on excavated materials, including both artifacts and manuscripts. His research integrates art history and archaeology, foregrounding uncurated sources as central evidence for understanding the emergence of various art traditions. Early Chinese calligraphy as a material text is his current main focus. His most recent publication, in the Journal of the American Oriental Society (2025), examines how the historiography of Chinese calligraphy was shaped and manipulated during the tenth and eleventh centuries.

He has published first book, Modeling Peace: Royal Tombs and Political Ideology in Early China (Columbia University Press, 2019), as well as over ten articles in such journals as Artibus Asiae, Archives of Asian Art, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, Rivista degli Studi Orientali, Monumenta Serica, Material Religion, and T’oung Pao.
