I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Southampton. My research interests centre on Kant and related topics in contemporary Philosophy of Mind, Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Logic.

I've held visiting positions at the Forschungskolleg for Analytic German Idealism at the University of Leipzig as a Humboldt research fellow and the Human Abilities project at HU and FU in Berlin as a research fellow.I completed my DPhil in 2013 at Merton College, University of Oxford, and held a Career Development Lectureship at Trinity College until 2015, when I moved to Humboldt University in Berlin on a Leverhulme Trust award. Before joining Southampton in 2017, I briefly held a research fellowship at Aarhus University in Denmark. I grew up in Yorkshire and spent a year at Music College in London before discovering philosophy and taking my first degree at Cardiff University.
