I am currently a third year PhD student in the Department of Philosophy at Stanford University. My dissertation research is in philosophical logic (esp. epistemic logic), epistemology (esp. social epistemology), and philosophy of science, supervised by Johan van Benthem and Helen Longino. My other interests include mathematical logic and history of early modern philosophy.
I also work as an Oral Communication Tutor at the Center for Teaching and Learning at Stanford. For more info, see my CV.
