My big question in philosophy is how we can represent the external world through linguistic and conceptual vehicles. For now, I am mainly interested in philosophy of logic and language. Particular topics I am working on include the relation between logic and reasoning, exceptionalism about logic, historical conceptions of logic (especially Kant's and Frege's) and the nature of proposition. 

I am also interested in philosophy of science, especially in scientific modeling and explanation. This leads me to think about metaphilosophical questions, including whether philosophy is distinct from other scientific disciplines from the epistemological perspective. 

Before joining Pitt in 2022, I studied mechanical engineering and philosophy at Seoul National University, South Korea.
