About me

I'm an assistant professor in Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh and a resident fellow at Pittsburgh's Center for the Philosophy of Science. Last year, I completed a PhD in philosophy at New York University. Prior to that, I studied philosophy and mathematics at University of Chicago and Humboldt UniversitŠt zu Berlin.

My philosophical interests lie primarily in ethics, epistemology, the history of modern philosophy, and Kant. But I also work on related issues in metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, and political philosophy. I have no interest in the philosophy of sport.

My CV is here.
