Ph.D., University California, Los AngelesProfile
My current research focuses on various issues in epistemology and philosophy of mind, including the nature of epistemic normativity, the individuation of perceptual states, and the role of inference in justifying belief. I also have interests in ethics, philosophy of language, history of modern philosophy, and history of early analytic philosophy.
