I'm an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the LSE's Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method.
I work in the philosophy of science. Most of my research is about comparative cognitive science - the science of nonhuman minds, from animals to artificial agents. I also work in the philosophy of biology, where I'm interested in how to count organisms in tricky cases like conjoined twinning, parasitism and pregnancy. You can find out more about my research here.
I currently hold a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship at the LSE's Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Sciences. My FLF project, Episodic Memory: Uniquely Human?, focusses on the nature of episodic memory - memory for personally experienced past events - and its manifestations in animals and machines.
I am a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar and a member of CIFAR's Future Flourishing program, an interdisciplinary research initiative exploring a future without human exceptionalism.
I sometimes write about animals, science and the mind for a non-academic audience. You can find examples here.
Before joining the LSE, I held Research Fellowships at the University of Cambridge and the University of Bonn. Before that, I received my BA, MPhil and PhD in Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.
