I am a PhD candidate in philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis. I work mainly on epistemology and philosophy of cognitive science. Here are my CV and my publications.

I am especially interested in how reasons and reasoning fit into nature, working on questions like:

• What are reasons?

• What is reasoning?

• What is it to treat something as a reason?

• Are reasons explained by other normative notions?

My research brings the resources of cognitive science to bear on these traditional questions. I also have active projects in social cognition, early modern philosophy, and social epistemology.

I love teaching, and I am passionate about active learning and inverted classroom methods.
