Hi! I'm Binjie :)

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science, supervised by Jingyi Wu and Liam Kofi Bright.

I primarily work on philosophy of science and epistemology (esp. social and formal). My research aims to understand how inquiry should respond to bad situations. To this end, I have found agent-based models extremely helpful for addressing questions such as: When and why should we defer to whom in awful epistemic environments? What are effective strategies for resisting information suppression? And which institutional structures reduce self-silencing among the knowledege producers? I also have an interest in philosophy of physics. Read more about my research here.

Before LSE, I did an MSc in Physics and Philosophy at King's College London and an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science at University of Cambridge.

Here is my CV.
