At the moment, my research develops along three main strands: first, the viability of naive realism as a theory of perception; second, the structural features of perceptual experience, with particular attention to field‑like organisation, and the boundedness of the visual field; and third, the nature of psychological trauma and the conceptual resources we use to understand it.

Spatial Monism: A New Naive Realist Response to the Argument from Hallucination (Under Review)
I develop my preferred solution to the Problem of Perception.
Impossibilism: Philosophers’ Hallucinations Are Impossible (Under Review)
I assess a recent strategy for resisting the argument from hallucination by rejecting the very possibility of the hallucinations the argument depends on.
Flavor Field
Conscious vision seems to involve a spatial field, a bounded arena whithin which visual presentations occur. Are flavor experiences similar to conscious visual perceptions in this respect?
On the Boundedness of Visual Consciousness
It is often claimed that we experience the visual field as bounded, and that this is to be analysed at least in part in terms of the idea that the region in view appears visually as a subregion of a larger space. In virtue of what does this spatial excess phenomenology obtains? In this paper, I suggest that part of the explanation might rely on multimodal perception.
