about
I am a second-year PhD student in Philosophy at MIT, advised by Kevin Dorst.
I mainly work on epistemology and philosophy of language, with interests in metaphysics, decision theory, and philosophical logic.
Before MIT, I studied philosophy and mathematics at Tufts University. Before that I was born and raised in Beijing, China.

Here's my cv.
publication
Guessing and its Limits. forthcoming in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.
I present a puzzle for a "question-sensitive" theory of belief/guessing in multi-question scenarios. The problem generalizes to formally parallel theories of attitudes and modals.
