I am a Research Associate at the University of Bristol, working on Samir Okasha's Representing Evolution project. My research to date has been in the philosophy of biology and, separately, decision theory. I also have interests in philosophy of science more generally, game theory and epistemology (formal and social).
My work in the philosophy of biology concerns the evolution of cooperation and culture 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 interpretations of the representation theorem. |
Prior to the University of Bristol, I was 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 UC 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 a pool league, I paint, I write poetry, I go on long motorcycle rides, and I dote over my dog, Johnny. |
