I'm currently a postdoc on a project on epistemology and metacognition (KNOWJUST, led by Joëlle Proust and Claudine Tiercelin) at the Institut Jean-Nicod (CNRS-EHESS-ENS). I recently completed a Ph.D. in philosophy at UMass (Amherst), where I wrote a dissertation on the epistemologies of memory and testimony under the supervision of Hilary Kornblith. If you want to know more about me, you can read my CV.
