Research
My primary research concerns the relationship between life, agency, and sentience—particularly from the perspective of embodied, situated, and enactive approaches to the philosophy of mind and cognitive science.More generally, I am interested in consciousness, intentionality, and action. I also have secondary interests in the philosophy of science broadly, and especially as it relates to questions concerning scientific naturalism and the place of the mind in the natural world.
