I am a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the University of Arizona. Before coming to the University of Arizona, I received a BPhil in philosophy from Oxford University and a B.S. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
I have a wide variety of philosophical interests, including epistemology, decision theory, metaphysics, action theory, philosophy of physics, normativity, and moral responsibility. My dissertation focuses on foundational issues in epistemology.
