Scholarship and Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. Prior to starting at Brandeis in August 2019, I was an assistant professor at Lehman College, CUNY. I received my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. I work primarily in the philosophy of mind, metaphysics and early modern philosophy. I am particularly interested in the metaphysics of perceptual experience and the nature of sensible qualities. During the academic year 2022-2023, I will be a fellow at the National Humanities Center in North Carolina, working on a book manuscript titled "Sensibilia: An Account of Sensory Perception and its Objects."
