I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy and the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science at the University of Michigan. I work mainly at the intersection of epistemology, philosophy of cognitive science, and philosophy of psychology. My current research focuses on how we represent the world to ourselves when we reason, plan, and problem solve and the mechanisms through which our deliberative practices are subject to bias and manipulation. I also have research interests in philosophy of language and philosophy of technology.
