I am an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and faculty affiliate in the Department of Classics at Northwestern University.

I specialize in Ancient Greek philosophy. My primary project is on wisdom in Plato and Aristotle, a central part of which is a monograph on wisdom in Plato’s Republic.

I also work on Aristotle’s theory of justice and Pyrrhonian skepticism. Outside of ancient philosophy, I’m especially interested in social philosophy and Chinese philosophy.

I completed my Ph.D. at Princeton University (2021) and my B.A. at Wellesley College (2016). 

Here is my CV. You can contact me at cyau@northwestern.edu.
