I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. I completed my PhD in philosophy at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York in 2016 under the supervision of Graham Priest. My research concerns the dynamic interplay among technology, language, and social structure, especially how social structures influence the development and use of technology and language.
