My research delves into East Asian philosophy and religion, with a particular focus on the intersection of Daoism, Buddhism, ecology, agriculture, and contemplative practices such as Taijiquan, calligraphy, painting, and yoga. Regionally, I am interested in China, Japan, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia.
