I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine. I work primarily in social philosophy, epistemology, and applied ethics (especially AI ethics).

I examine social groups (such as religious communities and Asian Americans) and social institutions (such as universities and police departments) as epistemic communities and potential victims and perpetrators of doxastic wrongs. My most recent project incorporates philosophy of language and cognitive science to investigate generative AI’s use of generic statements about social groups. The project aims to minimize human-AI miscommunication, disrupt the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes, and offer a set of epistemic and moral considerations that should govern AI’s use of social generics. I am also interested in Asian American philosophy and philosophy of religion.
