Ph.D. Student, Philosophy, University of California, San Diego I'm a doctoral student in the philosophy department at UCSD. I began my graduate studies in Fall 2008. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Arizona, receiving a B.A. in Philosophy and Anthropology (double major) in Spring 2007. Most of my philosophical interests fall within the scope of
Philosophy of Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Psychology, and Moral
Psychology. My general philosophical approach can be (roughly)
summarized as examining how findings and methods from the cognitive sciences (especially psychology and neuroscience) can inform problems
traditionally considered the exclusive domain of philosophy. Although I'm interested in any philosophical topic that's amenable to this sort of approach, at present my focus is on morality, the implications of psychological findings for control and moral responsibility, and the dynamics of philosophical intuitions. I'm also interested in broader issues in cognitive science, including the role of emotions and automatic processes in cognition (especially social cognition), cognitive control, and brain-level perspectives on decision-making.
