About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Philosophy
at the University of
Michigan. Beginning January 2013, I will be an
Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Pennsylvania.
My primary research interests include epistemology, specifically epistemic value and formal epistemology. I also work on questions about epistemic normativity and normativity more generally. My secondary research interests include general philosophy of science, using models to explore philosophical questions, and theoretical computer science. I am also part of Prof. Patrick Grim's research group, which investigates epidemiological questions using agent-based computer models.
I have taught my own logic and introductory philosophy classes at Michigan. I have also assisted in teaching Introductory Logic, Applied Ethics and Philosophy of Mind and Language classes at Michigan. At Penn, I assisted in teaching for Prof. Scott Weinstein's Introduction to Logic (PHIL 005 and LGIC 010).
I have a bachelor's from the University of Pennsylvania with majors in Philosophy, and Logic, Information and Computation and minors in Mathematics and Computer Science.
At Penn, I also worked as a member of Prof.
Michael Weisberg's Research Group and served as his
research assistant on the topic of the semantic view of
theories. I was also the Moderator of the Philomathean Society
of
the University of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the
Philosophy
Undergraduate Advisory Board, and Chairman of the Senior
Advisory Board
of Delta
Upsilon Pennsylvania.
