Her research lies at the intersection of epistemology and ethics, with a focus on how our cognitive lives are shaped by the duties and expectations that arise within our social relationships. Her current work explores and articulates what these duties and expectations demand from us, when they arise and when they are discharged, and how they interact with other normative considerations (such as moral and epistemic ones). Her work has been published in journals including <em>Synthese<\/em> and <em>Epistemology and Philosophy of Science<\/em>. Outside of philosophy, she enjoys weightlifting, cooking fusion food, and tackling a wide range of DIY projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sample publications<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:b2d27d96-a412-4b77-a9fc-afa6d027d201-2\" data-is-intersecting=\"true\">\n<section class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:b2d27d96-a412-4b77-a9fc-afa6d027d201-2\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:b2d27d96-a412-4b77-a9fc-afa6d027d201-2\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-6\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"0\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"9d3a2e59-c8d3-4098-a60e-735a05b79da6\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-5\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"194\">Choo, F., &amp; Goh, E.
