I am a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the University of Michigan, where I work on early modern philosophy. I am writing a dissertation titled 'Early Modern Dualisms and Unities of Consciousness', with Tad Schmaltz as the chair of my committee.
I have also served as the Chair of the Graduate Student Council of the American Philosophical Association (July 2022 – June 2024) and, before that, as the President of the British Postgraduate Philosophy Association (April 2019 – November 2020). I hold an undergraduate degree (summa cum laude) in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s degree (distinction) in ancient philosophy from the University of Oxford (Hertford College).
My research interests lie in understanding, through the lens of the history of philosophy, how the world metaphysically is and how it is that we, as living beings, navigate and psychologically experience it. In addition to my dissertation, my current work focuses on issues regarding perception, memory, and consciousness in the writings of figures in the early modern period such as Descartes, Henry More, Anne Conway, Samuel Clarke, and Émilie Du Châtelet. I have also done work in ancient and medieval philosophy, on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Chrysippus, and Aquinas.
