I am a philosopher, cognitive scientist, and historian of science and religion, completing my PhD in the History & Philosophy of Science department at the University of Pittsburgh. Previously, I studied these subjects at Tufts University and Stanford University. My primary research focuses on the philosophical foundations of cognitive science, with particular emphasis on how to provide evidence for cognitive models. I also work on traditional topics in the philosophy of mind, consciousness, and the self.​

As an undergraduate (Genetics, University of California, Davis, 2010-2014), I studied gene regulatory network evolution in flies. During my PhD (Ecology and Evolution, Stanford University, 2014-2019) I studied ant neurophysiology and collective behavior at a long-term field site in New Mexico, USA. Currently I am a researcher interested in consciousness, active inference, and cognitive security.
