​I am Lecturer in Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at University College London. Before coming to London, I completed a PhD at MIT, was a post-doctoral fellow at UNC Chapel Hill, and taught at NYU Shanghai. 

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 one of the organisers of the London Group for Formal Philosophy. I am also an associate editor of MIND.
