I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Baylor College of Medicine, Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy. Before that, I was an IRTA postdoctoral at the National Institutes of Health, Department of Bioethics. I obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Maryland, College Park.

My scholarly work lies at the intersection of bioethics and cognitive science, focusing on issues related to decision-making as it pertains to patients, clinicians, investigators, and institutions. I have also written about issues in the philosophy of mind and metaphysics, and continue to have interests in these areas. You can learn more about my research and download preprints of my publications here.

Prior to graduate school, I worked at Liren College*—a Beijing-based non-profit growing out of the Liren Rural Libraries network dedicated to exploring the possibilities of higher education in what used to be China's emerging civic society.

When I am not doing research or teaching, I enjoy spending time in the kitchen, improving old as well as trying new techniques and recipes. One might even say it's sometimes stew much. I am also an amateur photographer, a professional cat petter, and a fervent movie watcher.
