2nd Year Graduate Student | M.A. program in Philosophy

My primary area of interests is in Philosophy of Language, especially in formal semantics and Pragmatics and in works of Wittgenstein. Problems, theories, and concepts relating to word meaning, definition, private language, family-resemblance-terms, expressives are the matters that I want to investigate the most. In addition, I am also interested in learning more about pre-Socratic Philosophy.              

Before coming to Columbia, I have completed a BA in Linguistics and Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh.
