I am an assistant professor in philosophy and affiliated faculty in cognitive science at Northwestern University .
From 2018 to 2022, I was an assistant and then associate professor of philosophy at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee . My PhD in philosophy was earned in 2018 from Rutgers University, New Brunswick where I was also a member of the semantics group at the Center for Cognitive Science .
I work in philosophy of language and mind , and bordering areas of metaphysics and epistemology . Most of my research aims to understand how conversation works: how our minds equip us to participate in it, how language functions to facilitate it, and how social norms regulate it. My approach to such questions is interdisciplinary by drawing on, and being inspired by, insights in cognitive science.
