I am a first-year PhD student in Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, where I studied philosophy (graduating with highest honors) and pure mathematics, with a minor in computer science.

I primarily work in logic and formal epistemology, particularly computability theory. I study complexity and information in the contexts of language, learning, and mathematics. I am also interested in the philosophy of probability theory, and in the philosophy of science.

My CV will be linked here when I make one.
