I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. I work primarily in the philosophy of biology and decision theory, with interests in game theory, epistemology (formal and social), and feminist philosophy.
My work in the philosophy of biology concerns the evolution of cooperation in humans and other organisms. It combines approaches and evidence from disparate fields - archaeology, anthropology, biology, psychology, cognitive science and game theory. In decision theory, I work on transformative experiences, deliberative decision theory, and adaptive preferences. |
Prior to the University of Pittsburgh, I completed a Ph.D. in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine, a PGCert in Central Banking and Financial Regulation at the University of Warwick, and a B.A. (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the University of Oxford. Details of my professional experience outside of philosophy, primarily in market regulation and policy in the UK public sector, can be found on my LinkedIn page..
In my spare time, I compete in the international BCA pool league, I take dance classes, I paint, I write poetry, and I spend time with my dog, Johnny. |
