I am a Collegiate Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Michigan. Previously, I completed my PhD at the University of Southern California, and my BA at UNC Chapel Hill. In Fall 2020, I'll begin as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan.
I work primarily on issues in metaphysics and philosophical logic. My current research focuses on the limits of radically permissive ontologies and on the power of "anti-arbitrariness" considerations in metaphysics. In my dissertation, Unlimited Ontology and Its Limits, I explored material plenitude; the view that there is a multitude of coincident objects wherever there is any material object. For more on what I'm currently working on, check out my Research page. See my Teaching page for information about courses I'm teaching, as well as my UM Student Resources page, where I've tried to pull together information about student support resources available at the University of Michigan. |
