CV 

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Arizona. I have a wide variety of philosophical interests, including epistemology, decision theory, metaphysics, action theory, philosophy of physics, normativity, well-being, animal ethics, and moral responsibility. My dissertation focuses on foundational issues in epistemology.

Before coming to the University of Arizona, I received a BPhil in philosophy from Oxford University. My BPhil thesis was on the metaphysics of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Before that, I received a B.S. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
