I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at Oriel College, Oxford. Previously, I have been Departmental Lecturer in Philosophy of Mind at the Faculty of Philosophy, and have held positions at and St. Hilda's College, Exeter College and The Queen's College. I have also been a researcher on the BUMP project, at King's College London and Southampton, and at the Centre for Philosophical Psychology, Antwerp. I received my PhD in Philosophy from University College London, a BPhil in Philosophy from Oxford, and a BA in Philosophy from King's College London.

My research interests are primarily in philosophy of mind and metaphysics, but extend to issues in epistemology, philosophical logic and philosophy of science. My current research focuses on the nature of human beings and the human mind, investigating several interconnected issues concerning our nature, origins and persistence, our awareness of the past, our awareness of our own minds, our agency and freedom, and our capacities to refer in thought to particular objects and events.
