About
I'm a second-year PhD student in Philosophy at MIT, advised by Kevin Dorst.
I mainly work on epistemology and philosophy of language.
Before MIT, I studied philosophy and mathematics at Tufts University. Before that I was born and raised in Beijing, China.
You may reach me at hfang811 [at] mit.edu.
