I am an Assistant Professor in the department of philosophy at Binghamton University (SUNY). I was previously a Junior Research Fellow at St Hilda's College, University of Oxford and an EU mobility research fellow at the University of Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic.

I work in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of AI. Topics I'm interested in include self-knowledge, knowledge of other minds, testimony, trust, epistemic agency, and conversation. Much of my current work considers these topics in the context of AI: for example, whether LLMs introspect, whether they can help us know our minds, whether interactions with them can realize the goods of conversation, and whether the opacity of AI is analogous to the opacity of the human mind. I currently have three main research projects. 

• The achievement of self-trust and self-knowledge in conversation, and whether these can be achieved in interactions with chatbots. In the summer of 2026, I developed this work as a visiting fellow at the Centre for Philosophy of AI Research at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.
• Conscience as a source of self-knowledge, including versions of this idea in the history of philosophy, especially Butler and Kant. In the Spring of 2026, I worked on this as a fellow at Binghamton's Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. 
• Alignment and safety issues arising from the development of "personas" in Large Language Models, includikng interpretability research with an interdisciplinary team at Binghamton's new Institute for AI & Society.

I received my BA in philosophy from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine and my PhD from the University of Pittsburgh. My supervisors were John McDowell and Kieran Setiya.
