I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Umeå Universitet, funded by the Kempe Foundation. In 2024, I completed my PhD in Philosophy, also at the University of Sheffield. 

I have a general research interest in cognitive science, evolutionary theory, and the philosophy of psychiatry. In particular, I am interested in a number of philosophical questions surrounding low mood and depression, including questions regarding the evolution of the low mood system, the intentional content of low mood, and depression's status as a mood disorder. I also work in the philosophy of AI, where I take a functional approach to understanding whether AI systems could have states with representational content.

Outside of academia, I am an avid drummer, and previously played for the post-hardcore band Sobriquet.
