I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. My area of specialisation is in the philosophy of biology. I also have a secondary area of specialisation in decision theory, and interests in game theory, epistemology, and the philosophy of science more generally.

​​Prior to Lingnan University, I was a Research Associate at the University of Bristol, working on Samir Okasha's Representing Evolution project and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Before this, 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, in market regulation in the UK public sector, can be found on my LinkedIn page.
My work in the philosophy of biology concerns the evolution of cooperation and culture in humans and other organisms. I am interested in the first-order questions of why and how organisms cooperate as well as the second-order question of how we ought to study or model these investigations. In decision theory, I have worked on transformative experiences, models and interpretation.

In my spare time, I compete in two pool leagues and I ride my motorcycle.
