I am an Assistant Professor (in Philosophy) here at NTU. I am also an Affiliated Member of the Centre for Philosophy of Memory in Grenoble, where I led the Objectual Memory project as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellow from 2021–2024.
I received my DPhil (PhD) in Philosophy from the University of Oxford in 2018. Since then I've also held research positions at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, the University of Warwick, and the University of Haifa. I've also held teaching positions at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Oxford.

My principal interests are in the philosophy of mind/cognitive science, but these have sometimes taken me into epistemology and the philosophy of language. My recent work explores interactions between memory, perceptual experience, and singular thought (or reference).
