My current work is in philosophy of neuroscience on neural representations. I am interested in indeterminacies of content, function, and vehicle with postulating neural representations in practice.
Before coming to Pitt, I earned a B.A. in psychology with a minor in ethics and values from what is now Cal Poly Humboldt and an M.A. in philosophy from California State University, Long Beach. My thesis work at CSU, Long Beach examined ruthless reductionist and new mechanist characterizations of neuroscience through a case study on optogenetics research on memory engrams.
