I am a Philosopher and Prize
Fellow
at All Souls College,
Oxford
University. Much of my work concerns the Metaphysics of Mind
and
Cognitive Science. In particular, I am interested in the temporal
structure of our experience and its relation to memory. I also have
strong research interests in Epistemology, Philosophy of Logic and
Language, and Metaphysics more broadly.
As well as work on temporal experience and memory, current projects of mine include work on understanding counterfactuals in indeterministic settings; the epistemology of the future; and agency and moral responsibility.
I am organizing a workshop on time perception in April: details here.
My complete CV is here.
