I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at New York University Shanghai, where I will take on the role of Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor of Philosophy starting in Fall 2025.
I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the Australian National University in 2022. I have been a visiting researcher at Princeton University.
My research focuses on the history of philosophy (especially Kant), contemporary epistemology, and moral psychology (and related issues in the philosophy of religion). My research has been published in leading journals such as the Canadian Journal of Philosophy and Kantian Review.
“Kant on Hope’s Value and Misanthropy” Canadian Journal of Philosophy 53 (6) pp. 472 - 486, 2024 [open access].
“Analytic Cognition in Kant” Kantian Review 29 (3) pp. 467 - 487, 2024 [open access].
