Starting in July 2019, I will be an assistant professor in the philosophy department at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I am also a fellow of the John Bell Institute for the Foundations of Physics.
I received a Ph.D from the philosophy department and a M.Sc from the mathematics department at Rutgers University, New Brunswick in 2019. I also received a graduate certificate in cognitive science from the Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS). My primary research interests are in philosophy of physics, philosophy of science, and metaphysics. I also have interests in philosophy of mind, decision theory, formal epistemology, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of religion, and Chinese philosophy. On this website, you can find my CV as well as information about my research, teaching, talks, and some of the events I organized. Outside philosophy, I enjoy traveling, skiing, and swimming. I also have a side interest in using films to popularize philosophical and scientific ideas. Currently, I'm co-writing a screenplay about a time-travel romance (partly based on this fascinating article in the SEP). You can contact me here. |
