I work on the self and how we think about it: the metaphysics and ethics of identity, and the significance of self-referring thoughts and feelings. I focus on these topics in Kant, early modern, and post-Kantian philosophy. More about my research here.

I am a postdoc in the University of Fribourg Philosophy Department and a visiting academic in the NYU Philosophy Department, where I was previously a Bersoff Faculty Fellow. I completed my PhD in philosophy at Princeton University in 2024. Before that, I was a visiting fellow at the CPKP, I did an MA at Simon Fraser University and a BA at Carleton University.

Here is my CV.

I am the creator, and formerly the host and producer, of the New Voices in the History of Philosophy podcast. I was a Grad Fellow at the Scholars Institute Fellows Program from 21-23 and a Grad Affiliate in the Program in European Cultural Studies in 22-23.
