I'm post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. I work on issues at the intersection of bioethics and cognitive science.

I completed a Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Maryland, College Park, under the supervision of Peter Carruthers. I have previously written about issues in philosophy of mind and metaphysics. I have also done some experimental work in philosophy of time, and continue to have interests in these areas. You can learn more about my research and download preprints of my publications here.

In 2023-24, I served on the Ethics Committee at the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center. Prior to graduate school, I worked at Liren College*—a Beijing-based non-profit (which grew 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. 

Here is my CV.
