I am an associate research professor of philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. I previously taught at USC from 2016-2023. My main areas of research are epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, and philosophical logic. I earned my PhD from NYU; before that I was at Oxford, where I earned my BPhil and DPhil in philosophy; before that I was an undergraduate at Brown, where I studied philosophy, cognitive neuroscience and physics.
