Hello! I am an incoming philosophy Ph.D. student at U.C. Berkeley. My research interests are in the philosophy of science, metaphysics of science, action, and inquiry.

I received my M.A. in philosophy from Brandeis University in 2026. I wrote my Master's thesis on the tension between theory and experimentation in scientific practice.

Before doing philosophy, I received my B.S.E. in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2019, and worked as a software engineer in New York from 2020 to 2024.

I grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY, where there are small hills and four seasons.

I'm currently interested in questions about scientific inquiry and progress, how action and agency constrain our metaphysics, and laws of nature across scales.

I also have secondary interests in Kant, history of metaphysics, metaethics (esp. constructivsm), and ethics (esp. contingency and moral luck).

I'm endlessly fascinated by, and often return to, the Kantian thought that what's going on in us prefigures (or pre-arranges, or organizes, or determines the form of) what we think is going on out there.
