I'm a Ph.D. Student in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge.
I'm supervised by Alexander Bird and Jessie Munton.
My research is at the intersection between epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of mind. Much of it is on the nature of understanding and how it figures in our epistemic and moral lives.
In social & political philosophy, I'm interested in the philosophy of the city, urbanism, anarchism, and hope.
If you’re procrastinating, you can read more about my research here.
