About
I am a second-year PhD student in Philosophy at MIT, advised by Kevin Dorst.
I work on (formal) epistemology and philosophy of language.
Before MIT, I received my MA in Philosophy and BA in Philosophy and Mathematics from Tufts University. Before that I was born and raised in Beijing, China.

R&R at Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
