I'm an assistant professor in the philosophy department of Lingnan University, Hong Kong.

Previously, I was a researcher in the Logic of Conceivability project at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam and at the Arché Research Centre at the University of St. Andrews. I completed my Ph.D at Stanford in 2017, under the co-supervision of Johan van Benthem and Krista Lawlor.

I work on epistemology, logic, and related topics on mind, language and rationality. My research explores the interaction between knowledge, meaning and modality. I've written about knowledge and knowability [KK]; subject matter and aboutness [SM]; modal discourse [MD]; epistemology of modality [EM]; and strategic ability and information [SI].
