About me

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics, supervised by Prof Richard Bradley and Prof Anna Mahtani. My main reasearch interest lies in decision theory and epistemology. I am particularly interested in how we should form our belief when the evidence at our disposal is less than ideal and how we should make decisions based on such belief.

I also have broad interest in philosophy of mind, philosophy of (social) science and philosophy of language.

My recent projects concern how the stakes affect our decision making and the relation between higher-order evidence and unspecific evidence. You can find a summary of my works here.

I have taught a variety of courses, including those outside my specialisation such as philosophy of gender and race and political philosophy.
