About Me

I'm a philosopher primarily interested in perception and the philosophy of psychology and neuroscience. Much of my work relates to philosophical issues that arise from the investigation of human haptic touch. More recently, I've been focusing on multisensory experience, spatial representation, the affective character of perceptual experience, and the relationship between perception and bodily awareness. You can read about some of this work on my research pageI also have strong interests in the general philosophy of science, epistemology, and moral psychology.     


I'm currently completing my second year as a postdoctoral fellow at The University of British Columbia, where I've been working with Murat Aydede and Eric Margolis. Next academic year I start as Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Diego. I'm also a research associate with the Network for Sensory Research, an interdisciplinary group working on perception. I recently completed my Ph.D. at the University of Toronto, where my advisor was Mohan Matthen. I also have an M.A. in philosophy from Tufts University.
