As Postdoctoral Researcher at Ghent University, Belgium, she is a co-PI on the project Cross-cultural Conceptions of the Self: South Asia, Africa, and East Asia, awarded by University of Birmingham’s "Global Philosophy of Religion" project supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
She specialises in Indian and Cross-Cultural Philosophy and her current comparative research focuses on the topics of epistemic authority and testimony, and South Asian debates over social justice in Indian (mainly Nyāya) philosophy and contemporary philosophy (mainly social epistemology, virtue ethics, and philosophy of religion). Her doctoral research project entitled “Indian realism from a contemporary perspective” at the Department of Languages and Cultures (India) of Ghent University will soon result in a monograph on "authority and testimony".
