About

I’m a writer of fiction and criticism based in Manhattan. I’m also a practicing board-certified orthodontist and a clinical assistant professor at NYU. I have written with my father a textbook, Controversies in Clear Aligner Therapy, published in Spring 2022 from Springer. I’m working on a collection of short stories. I write on visual art, film, culture, and literature. I’m a former editor at Full Stop Magazine and a former blog editor at Asymptote. I also hold an MFA in Fiction from NYU. My work has been published in Kenyon Review, Bookforum, Harvard Review, Gathering of the Tribes, and other publications. I’m particularly interested in Asian-American literature, experimental literature, short stories, art criticism, film, and essay collections. But I’m open to writing on almost all forms of art.
