I specialize in Sanskrit philosophy and philosophy of mind. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Harvard University in November 2025.
My research lies at the intersection of epistemology and philosophy of mind, with a special interest in self-knowledge and attention. I am particularly interested in questions about the sources, limits, and value of self-knowledge, and the role that attention plays in cultivating self-knowledge and other intellectual and moral virtues.
My PhD dissertation examines the epistemology and metaphysics of self-knowledge in Sanskrit philosophy, focusing on debates between Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and Dharmakīrti on the epistemic sources of self-knowledge, and between Vasubandhu and his Hindu and Buddhist interlocutors on the possibility of self-knowledge within the framework of Abhidharma Buddhist metaphysics.
