Research Interests: Indian and Tibetan philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics

I currently study Indian Philosophy, having arrived at Harvard by way of an eclectic academic background. My primary focus is on Indian and Tibetan epistemology (Skt. *pramāṇa*), with my current research exploring causation and causal reasoning in the work of the 6th century Buddhist philosopher Dharmakīrti, and of his successors.
