Danielle Williams

(she/her)

I am a philosopher of mind, cognitive science, neuroscience, and AI + a historian of cognitive science and AI. My work typically investigates how science (especially neuroscience) uses simplified representations—mathematical, physical, or conceptual—to understand, explain, and predict complex systems.
