Research interests: My research focuses on Buddhist Philosophy, especially the Abhidharma and Yogācāra traditions, and their complex relationship. I also have particular interest in the role of the Yogācāra commentarial literature in shaping the school's identity, as well as the (dis)similarities between the doctrines of the Yogācāra and other classical philosophical traditions of ancient India.
