I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Greifswald.
I received my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Arizona. Before that I received a BPhil in philosophy from Oxford University and a B.S. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
My research interests include epistemology, decision theory, action theory, and normativity. I wrote my Ph.D. dissertation on the nature of empirical justification.
