FAQ

So what name(s) do you go by?

An unfortunate byproduct of growing up in the globalization era is that sometimes one ends up with more names than one person really needs. Here’s my experience:

  • 李良澤
    • The name in Chinese which I was born with.
  • Liangze Li
    • The official Latin transliteration of my Chinese name using the Pinyin system.
  • Josh Lee
    • Back in the day it was still customary for a Chinese kid to get an English name, so I arbitrarily picked one for myself just like everyone else. And on top of that I also got in the habit of transliterating my family name as Lee because it has a less ambiguous pronunciation than Li. Most of these people I know have eventually graduated from their English names once they became adults and have just used the Pinyin transliteration of their Chinese names, largely because that’s what goes on their official documents. When I had the chance, I was reluctant to move out of my English name because too many people had already known me by this name and I also got used to it. Perhaps this has been a mistake.
  • Джош Лии
    • Cyrillic transliteration of “Josh Lee”.

Can you advise our startup?

I’d love to touch base and hear more about your startup.

Alphabet’s Conflict of Interest review process is rather strict on formal advisorships, so I usually cannot promise any long-term outcome until we find out.

As of 2025, I am also serving as an advisor in the Google for Startups program; so we might also find venues to engage there.

Can you collaborate with us on a research project?

I’m open to exploring opportunities for collaboration. Please share details.

Can you refer me for a role at $COMPANY?

I can refer you if I have a reason to believe you are suitable for the role. Please confirm with me and use this form to share the materials.
