I'm an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Texas Tech.
My primary interests are in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science. I'm particularly interested in questions about belief and (ir)rationality.
I got my PhD at NYU, where I was advised by Michael Strevens, David Chalmers, and Jane Friedman. Before that, I studied philosophy and cognitive science at Brown University.
