As of autumn 2021, I am an Assistant Professor at the Munich Centre for Mathematical Philosophy, at LMU München. I was previously a Junior Fellow at FU Berlin, as part of the Human Abilities research group, and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Universität Leipzig, as part of the Humboldt Project.

Before moving to Germany, I lived and studied in the UK. I did a BA in Philosophy, Psychology and Physiology at the University of Oxford, and then an MPhil and PhD in Philosophy at UCL.

My primary research interests are in the philosophy of action. In my PhD I focused on the relationship between intentional agency, responsibility and causation, addressing a broad range of considerations, including our ability to create and change abstract objects. I am now further developing my work on this issue, alongside work on other aspects of intentional agency, such as the knowledge of what we are doing when doing something intentionally, and abilities to act or refrain from acting.

Other topics of particular interest to me include ameliorative projects in intersectional feminist philosophy, the metaphysics of social practices, the metaphysics of life, composition and constitution, the early modern period, the interaction between different kinds of explanation in the cognitive sciences, moral psychology, and philosophy of mind more broadly.
