Cai's thesis critically analysed the early career of Dublin-born artist Mary Swanzy, forwarding the artist’s exhibiting practice as pivotal to her professionalism in the early twentieth century. Their research interests include the materiality and lives of artworks in exhibition, professional identities of women artists in the early twentieth century and Irish women artists of the late nineteenth and twentieth century.
Cai currently works at the University of Birmingham to support postgraduate student experience in the College of Arts and Law, and is passionate about researcher development.
