I am jointly appointed in the William H. Miller III Department of Philosophy and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. I am also a regular visiting professor at Oxford University.

My work lies at the intersection of philosophy and the mind/brain sciences, with particular interests in perception, memory, imagination, consciousness, and temporal experience. I am also writing a biography of Gareth Evans.
