I am an assistant professor in philosophy and affiliated faculty in both linguistics and cognitive science at Northwestern University. My PhD in philosophy was earned in 2018 from Rutgers University, New Brunswick where I was also a member of the Center for Cognitive Science.
I work in philosophy of language and mind, and bordering areas of epistemology. Most of my research aims to understand how conversation works (e.g. how our minds equip us to participate in it, how language functions to facilitate it, how social norms regulate it). As of late, my work has focused on the semantics and pragmatics of clause types. For example, I am currently writing a book titled How we do things with declaratives that is under contract with Oxford University Press. The aim of this project is to explain the pragmatics of declaratives as a byproduct of social cognition (e.g. mindreading, event representation, attention).
You can find me on PhilPapers, Google Scholar, ORCID, the Philosophy Tree, and near Lake Michigan in either Evanston or Milwaukee where I live with my family.
