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, working under the supervision of 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? Which institutional structures can reduce self-abnegation among knowledge producers? Read more about my research here.

At LSE, I co-convene the Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter, the Social Epistemology Reading Group (SERG), the Popper Seminar, and ReproducibiliTea (a PhD-led open science initiative). Find out more about this 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.
