I am an associate professor at Wuhan University and will be joining the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an associate professor in January 2026. My research focuses on epistemology, particularly epistemic permissivism, higher-order evidence, and Bayesian epistemology. I received my PhD from Cornell University in 2016, after completing my undergraduate studies at Wuhan University.

Here is my CV.
