BIO
I received my PhD in philosophy at the City University of New York, Graduate Center (CUNY) in 2015. Since then I have been employed at University College Dublin (as Teaching Fellow and then Postdoc) and the University of Iceland (as Principal Investigator). I work on topics in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, history of analytic philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of linguistics, and cognitive science. As of 2020 I am a Lecturer/Assistant Professor - Ad Astra Fellow at UCD.
I am currently working on a book developing an intentionalist theory of reference and on papers on insincerity, self-deception, inner speech, and fragmentational theories of mind.
My papers have been published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Mind and Language, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Canadian Journal of Philosophy, Inquiry, Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Synthese, British Journal for the History of Philosophy, and others.
