Social and Political Sciences, Philosophy, and Anthropology

I work on issues in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science. This includes topics related to embodied cognition, emotions, social cognition, psychopathology, loneliness, and human-AI interactions. I also have interests in Asian and comparative philosophy, philosophy of music, and pragmatism.
