I am a seventh year doctoral (PhD) student in the Philosophy Department and the Cognitive Science Program at the University of Arizona.

I work primarily in the philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of information, with applications to problems in the philosophy of science. I also have strong interests in mathematical logic, philosophy of mathematics, embodied epistemology, theory of complexity, cybernetics, and semiotics - the last three of which play an important role in my research methodology.
