"Buddhist Studies professor at Harvard University's Yenching Institute who is considered to be among the foremost scholars of Buddhism in the United States. Although he has been especially interested in Buddhist logic， he is equally at home working on the disciplinary texts of the monastic tradition as with the texts of Dharmakirti. He has worked closely with the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard in developing some of the finest young Buddhologists of the past two decades."
