My current research focuses on Bayesian epistemology, including formal social epistemology, belief dynamics, and decision theory. I also have a significant research interest in social choice theory.

Prior to Maryland, I completed an MA in Philosophy at Texas Tech University and an MS in Economics at the University of Wisconsin.

I went to college at Wuhan University and double majored in Economics (Insurance track) and Philosophy.
