Personal profile
Biography
I am an assistant professor of philosophy at Lingnan University, where I also work with the Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre. I received my PhD from the philosophy department at Rutgers University, New Brunswick in 2022. Before that, I studied philosophy and cognitive science at University College Dublin. I am originally from Swords, Ireland.
I work primarily in social and political philosophy, especially as they intersect with epistemology, political economy, and political science. However, I am also interested in philosophical methodology and philosophy of language.
