I am a postdoctoral associate in the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh and I will join the Department of Philosophy at the University of Texas at El Paso as assistant professor in Fall 2025. In 2023–2024, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Philosophy & Artificial Intelligence Research at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. In Spring 2023, I completed my doctorate in philosophy with doctoral minors in neuroscience and cognitive science at the University of Arizona under the co-supervision of Sara Aronowitz and Mark Timmons.
I specialise in the philosophy of neuroscience, psychology, and machine learning from the perspective of general philosophy of science. My research explores the relationships between various forms of explanation, modelling, and analysis in these three fields. A recurring theme in my work is that the tasks that experimenters design for and administer to both natural and artificial systems play an understated role in shaping the many ways that we explain, model, and analyse those systems. For instance, they direct us to take different explanatory, modelling, and analytic approaches towards the behavioural responses that they individuate as successes vs. errors.
