Since August 2020 I am Akademischer Rat auf Zeit (roughly equivalent to assistant professor) in philosophy at the University of Cologne. Previously I was an Assistant Professor at Illinois Wesleyan University and a postdoctoral researcher in the Concepts and Cognition Lab at UC-Berkeley for the Varieties of Understanding Project. I received my Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 2014.

I work primarily in the philosophy of science (especially causation and explanation) and epistemology (especially formal and social epistemology). I also have research interests in metaphysics and decision theory.
