I’m a Postdoctoral Associate in Philosophy at MIT. This summer, I’ll be the Kempe Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in AI Philosophy, based at Umeå University in Sweden. (I’ll continue this fellowship in 2026-2027 academic year.) As of August 2025, I’ll be an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University.

I received my Ph.D. from MIT in May of 2024. I got my B.A. from Dartmouth in 2019. Here is my C.V.

My central project sits at the intersection of philosophy of mind and metaphysics, providing an alternative account of the relationship between perceivers, perceptual experiences, and the perceptible world. My research also engages with epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, and philosophy of AI.
