After spending one year as a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, she returned to Zhejiang University as an Assistant Professor (named ZJU 100 Young Professor in Humanities and Social Science) and is now an Associate Professor of Philosophy. She is also a co-founder of the Asian Epistemology Network and an associate editor of the Asian Journal of Philosophy.

Her research mainly concerns connections between epistemology and the philosophy of mind. Her current research project is about the sensitivity of doxastic attitudes (in particular belief and credence) to practical considerations (such as stakes and urgency). She is also interested in the following topics: pragmatic encroachment, the belief-credence relation, cross-linguistic studies of philosophical concepts and decision theory.

She is currently teaching courses on the following topics: academic reading and writing in philosophy; epistemology; formal tools in analytical philosophy.
