I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen.

My research is in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and metaphysics, with particular interests in first-person thought, self-location, and the philosophy of time.

A central question running through my work is how we represent ourselves and our place in the world. My research on first-person thought investigates de se content, centered communication, and the role of first-person thought in action and practical reasoning. My work on time has focused on temporal representation, persistence, and the open future.

Recently, I have been focussing on how we represent the future. My current research concerns future-directed attitudes, including belief, knowledge, anticipation, and wondering about the future. I am particularly interested in the asymmetries between our attitudes towards the past and future, and in how these asymmetries square with our best physical theories of time.

Before coming to Aberdeen, I was a Junior Research Fellow at Oriel College, Oxford and a postdoc at LOGOS, University of Barcelona. I received my PhD from the University of Massachusetts—Amherst.
