I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. My main research interests are in aesthetics and the philosophy of art, in particular philosophical issues pertaining to pictures and photographs (e.g. how to characterise and explain pictorial experience, and what's special about photography as a pictorial medium). Other areas of interest include selected topics in the philosophy of mind (especially imagination and perception) and in metaphysics (especially 'minor entities', such as shadows and other absences).
I received my PhD in Theoretical Philosophy from Stockholm University in 2012. Before joining Lingnan, I held a position as an International Post-doc at Stockholm (funded by the Swedish Research Council) and was also a Visiting Scholar at NYU (2013–2014).
