I joined the Department of Philosophy at Rice in 2021. My primary research areas are phenomenology and existentialism. The majority of my previous works can be unified under the central theme of subjectivity. In my writings of Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Foucault, I seek to answer a series of questions: what is the self, how to know myself, what constitutes my personhood, what characterizes my existence, how should I live, and how to understand our everyday interpersonal interactions and relationships. Since I came to Rice, I have been increasingly invested in the philosophy of mind, ethics, and moral psychology. Specifically, I pay attention to topics that align with my earlier interest, including self-consciousness, self-knowledge, the relation between consciousness and personhood, self-identity and personal identity, and reactive attitudes.
