Biography

My main research project is on the structure of consciousness. I'm interested in how structural concepts—such as degrees, dimensions, continuity, discreteness, parts, wholes, isomorphism, and state-spaces—can be applied to conscious experiences. Some of my work is about how to mathematically model conscious experiences.
 
I’m also interested in the ethics of consciousness, introspection, perception, & attention, analog & iconic representation, qualities & locations, and infinite sums. My research cuts across the philosophy of mind, ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology, the philosophies of language, science, and math, and cognitive science.
 
I received my PhD in Philosophy from New York University in 2019, and I did my undergrad at Brown University. For more information, please visit my website.
