His research interests are fairly broad, ranging from Indian and Buddhist philosophy to Hellenistic philosophy, cross-cultural hermeneutics, phenomenology, naturalized epistemology, and consciousness studies. His most recent research focuses on the contemporary reception of the Dignaga-Dharmakirti school of Buddhist logic and epistemology. Work in progress includes "Buddhist Epistemology Naturalized," "Enactive Mental Imagery and the Buddhist Epistemology of Perception," and "An Abhidharma Typology of Intentionality and Empirical Consciousness."
