I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, where I completed my PhD in 2022. Before that, I completed a BA at the University of British Columbia in 2018.

I work on the history of Indian philosophy in Sanskrit, with an especial focus on philosophers belonging to the Nyāya and Mīmāṃsā (especially Prābhākara) traditions. My interests lie broadly in epistemology, philosophy of mind and metaphysics. My research to date has focused primarily on absence. I am currently working on Nyāya views about issues related to introspection. Find me on PhilPeople here, where I maintain archives of all my published papers.

From 2019 to 2022, my research was funded by the Government of Canada through a Canada Graduate Scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. Graduate students can find my advice on writing the proposal here.
