I'm a philosopher with a specialization in the philosophy of psychology and cognitive science.

​

Much of my work centers on questions of psychological unity, which bear on a number of traditional philosophical concerns, including personal identity, self-knowledge, the unity of consciousness, and the nature of belief. My book on the split-brain phenomenon is available through Amazon

​

I am presently an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy (as well as a member of the Brain and Behavior Institute) at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I am co-organizer of the Cognitive Science Colloquium Series

 

Prior to this, I was in the Department of Philosophy and the Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University, Bloomington. Before coming to Bloomington I was in the Philosophy Department and the PNP Program at Washington University in St. Louis. Prior to that I was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford University. I earned my Ph.D. at the University of Maryland and my B.A. at Vassar College
