Most recently, I served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Previous to that, I did a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at York University. My primary research is in the Philosophy of Psychology, Philosophy of Mind, and Philosophy of Perception. I have secondary research interests in Philosophy of Neuroscience and Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence.

​

I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy at UCLA in December 2020, and my B.A. in Philosophy at Harvard University in 2012. 

​

My current research focuses on understanding psychological states of confidence or uncertainty, especially as they apply in perception.
