Overview
I'm a fifth-year Philosophy PhD student at Duke. I received my MA in Philosophy from King’s College London, where I wrote a dissertation in philosophy of science on resolving the stalemate between proponents of reductionism and multiple realizability.
I'm interested in philosophy of cognitive science and general philosophy of science, and I work primarily on issues in non-human animal cognition and philosophy of AI. I am a member of the Moral Attitudes and Decisions lab and Imagination and Modal Cognition lab, where I collaborate on an empirical project that studies human causal reasoning. I also have interests in animal and environmental ethics.
In the fall of 2025, I spent three months in sunny Santa Barbara, California working with Colin Allen on topics in philosophy of AI and animal cognition.
I care a lot about making philosophical ideas and issues more publicly accessible. I've worked as a specialist philosophy teacher with The Philosophy Foundation, an organization based in the UK that teaches philosophy in a wide range of public settings, such as schools, hospitals, and prisons. I have also participated as a judge in the past years of the National and Regional Ethics Bowl competitions.
