About me
I am an Associate Professor in philosophy and a Faculty Fellow in the Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy at George Mason University. Before that, I was a Presidential Fellow and lecturer at the University of Manchester. I was awarded a Banting Fellowship at the University of Waterloo and was a postdoc at the Center for Philosophy of Science and History and Philosophy of Science Department at the University of Pittsburgh. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the City University of New York Graduate Center.
I specialize in epistemology, cognitive science, and moral psychology. A unifying theme of my research in these areas has been to study phenomena important to our everyday lives such as knowledge, belief, ability, and moral judgment though a mix of both traditional philosophical analysis and the tools of experimental science.
I have published over 50 papers on these topics in leading philosophy journals (e.g. Philosophical Studies, Analysis, Noûs, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, American Philosophical Quarterly), cognitive science journals (Cognitive Science, Mind & Language, Behavioral and Brain Sciences), psychology journals (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Annual Review of Psychology), and in volumes from leading presses (Oxford University Press, Routledge).
According to Google Scholar, my work has received over 1,000 citations. Philpapers.org ranks it among the top 1% of citations over 5 years. I have presented my work at dozens of conferences, workshops and colloquia and secured major funding from the National Science Foundation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
