I am a Continuing Lecturer in Philosophy at University of California, Davis (2023-present).

Before joining the department as a Lecturer in 2017, I was Visiting Assistant Professor at Texas Tech (2011-13, 2014-17), Resident Associate at the National Humanities Center (2013-14), and a participant in the NEH Summer Seminar on Metaphysics and Mind at Washington University in St. Louis (2013) directed by John Heil.

I earned my Ph.D. (2011) and my MA (2006) from University of California, Davis and my BA (2002, with distinction) from The Ohio State University.

My research is in philosophy of mind and metaphysics and focuses primarily on consciousness, physicalism, the nature of the physical, and related issues. See "Research" or "The Physical Mind" for more detail.

Department of Philosophy, 1240 Social Sciences and Humanities, One Shields Avenue, UC Davis, Davis, CA 95616
