I am a fifth year student in the philosophy Ph.D. program at Notre Dame.
My research is mostly in metaphysics and epistemology. I am interested in general questions about what things there are, what they are like, and what can be known of them. But I am especially interested in we human beings, and in our powers and place in the world. Consequently, I'm writing a dissertation on human nature (directed by Alvin Plantinga and Michael Rea). In it, I defend the thesis that we are wholly material beings.
