I received my PhD in philosophy from Harvard University in November 2025. I work on philosophy written in Classical Sanskrit, or Classical Sanskrit philosophy for short. My philosophical interests lie in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and related issues in metaphysics.

My dissertation examines the epistemology and metaphysics of self-knowledge in Classical Sanskrit philosophy, focusing on debates between Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and Dharmakīrti on the epistemic sources of self-knowledge, and between Vasubandhu and his Hindu and Buddhist interlocutors on the possibility of self-knowledge within Abhidharma metaphysics.

At Princeton, my work explores further dimensions of self-knowledge, especially its value and cultivation. Within Classical Sanskrit philosophy, these questions are best approached through the study of the relationship between attention-training practices and the cultivation of virtues. My current research focuses on the relationship between attention, the virtues, and self-knowledge.
