I am an assistant professor—with a presidential young professorship—in the philosophy department at the National University of Singapore. I received my Ph.D. from Rutgers, where I also earned an M.S. in mathematics.

My research spans several different fields. One project develops a theory of how centered propositions can be objectively chancy. Another project develops a unified theory of explanation in metaphysics, physics, social philosophy, and the special sciences. In addition, I am developing projects on quantum field theories, the metaphysics and logic of identity, social metaphysics and the metaphysics of groups, and feminist philosophy.

Before coming to philosophy, I worked as a filmmaker in Chicago: I made documentaries about people, parks, and diners. These days, in addition to philosophy, I like taking pictures, watching movies, knitting, reading and writing poems, teaching outside of the academy, and hiking.
