I'm a Marie Skłodowska-Curie/UKRI Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford and a Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford. Starting in fall 2024, I'll be Assistant Professor of Philosophy at William & Mary.
I was previously a postdoc at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy at LMU (Ludwig Maximilian University) and a resident Philosophy Fellow at the Center for AI Safety in San Francisco. I did my PhD in philosophy, and an MS in math, at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
I'm an Associate Editor at Inquiry and the editor for the Number Theory and Nondeductive Methods in Mathematics categories on PhilPapers.
