I’m a philosopher who works mostly in classical Indian and Chinese philosophy of language and logic. My two current research interests are the unanswerable questions of Early India and accounts of non-propositional truth from India, China, Egypt, and Mesoamerica.
Currently, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Philosophy Department of the University of Connecticut.
