How to pronounce my name:  

My research is motivated by the problem of intentionality—the ‘aboutness’ of percepts, beliefs, desires, and other mental states. I adopt an interdisciplinary approach that integrates perspectives from philosophy of mind, epistemology, philosophy of language, and cognitive science. Currently, I am investigating mental factors underlying perceptual justification, such as attention, cognitive penetration, perceptual learning, representational format, and consciousness, among others. In addition to my primary research, I work on issues concerning the open-texture of natural kind terms and the relationship between epistemic and practical norms.
