How to pronounce my name:
My research area is in the history of early modern philosophy, especially the philosophy of Leibniz. I am also interested in ethics, the philosophy of religion, and Asian philosophies. I have published on Leibniz's theories of modality, freedom, and divine agency. I am currently working on two projects. The first reconstructs Leibniz's view of divine simplicity and the second attempts to reconcile counter-factual analyses (both human and divine) for Leibniz with the doctrine of superessentialism.
