I am Elliott Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Hampden-Sydney College. Before coming to Virginia, I spent one year as a Postdoctoral Fellow at TU Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
My research revolves around a single question: can empirical findings have implications for ethics? I approach this by examining what empirical research reveals about the development, physiology, and function of human moral belief and behavior, and then asking to what extent these findings can inform ethical and metaethical discussions.
