I am the Fellow by Examination in Philosophy (or 'Prize Fellow') at Magdalen College, Oxford. I am also a Visiting Scholar in the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University. I completed my PhD in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto in 2022. 

I work on the history of Sanskrit philosophy, including both Buddhist and Brahmanical traditions. I am especially interested in issues related to accuracy, iteration principles, rational action, introspection, and absence. My research explores these topics through second-millennium debates that took place between the Nyāya philosopher Gaṅgeśa and his earlier Prābhākara interlocutors. In service of better understanding Prābhākara source material, I also maintain strong interests in the Buddhist philosopher Dharmakīrti.

My paper "Raghunātha on Seeing Absence" was awarded the 2023 Rogers Prize by the British Journal for the History of Philosophy, its annual prize for best article.
