Overview

I am a philosopher and a bioethicist. My current work lies in research ethics and clinical ethics, focusing on decision-making. I am especially interested in how values figure in decision-making in clinical care and clinical research contexts.

I have also worked on a variety of issues in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, such as the nature of conscious perception, boundary between perception and cognition, and cognitive architecture. My dissertation is primarily an attempt to approach these issues all at once through the lens of memory and time.
