I am Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Toronto.
I work on epistemology and Sanskrit philosophy. In epistemology, I like thinking about connections between self-knowledge and rationality. In Sanskrit philosophy, I tend to focus on debates between Buddhist and Brahminical thinkers about the nature of the self, knowledge, and self-knowledge. I am currently writing a book on the 12th century Indian philosopher and poet, Śrīharṣa. I am also an associate editor of MIND and Philosopher's Imprint. Here is a recent CV.
