I am an independent researcher and adjunct faculty at New York University.

I received my PhD in philosophy from Columbia University, where I was also a preceptor for the Columbia College Core Curriculum for two years. Before philosophy, I studied English Literature and Chemical Engineering; I have an MA in English Literature and B.Eng from National University of Singapore.

I am interested in understanding what makes us distinctively human beyond our narrowly rational capacities, i.e., understanding our affective and imaginative abilities. I think this has consequences for what we should take ourselves to be capable of and how we ought to hold each other responsible.

Besides philosophy, I enjoy singing, attempting Indian cooking, and taking long walks in Manhattan with Bernie, my patient companion and dog!
