I’m a philosopher who uses cross-disciplinary methods to study the contours of human cognition and how it shapes, and is shaped by, our social, cultural, and moral worlds.
Presently, I’m an Assistant Professor with the department of philosophy at Purdue University in Indiana. Additionally, I am the Director of the College of Liberal Arts’ inaugural Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence (VRAI) Lab and the soon-to-be launched Purdue Normativity and Cognitions (PuNCs) experimental philosophy Lab. Just prior, for the 2021 to 2022 academic year, I was a Sessional Assistant Professor with the department of philosophy and cognitive science program at York University in Toronto, Canada.
From 2018 to 2021, I was a Provost Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, working in the Department of Philosophy with Lisa Miracchi and the MIRA group. I earned my PhD in philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center in 2018.
