My primary interest is in logic, both mathematical and philosophical, with a special focus on logics that differ from first-order logic. I have also done work in several areas of metaphysics, with my most sustained research focusing on the nature of musical works. Outside of philosophy, my interests include listening to and playing music and adapting non-vegetarian recipes to a vegetarian diet.

Area of interest: Ethics, Metaethics, Confucianism
My primary research interests are concerned with the ethical and metaethical dimensions of various ethical traditions including both Aristotelian and Stoic forms of virtue ethics, as well as ethics in the Confucian tradition. I'm particularly interested in problems in moral psychology, such as moral motivation and the degree to which sentiments and intellect inform our moral practices. I am also interested in exploring the implications these ethical traditions have for both aesthetics and politics
