I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. I received my PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 2024. Before that, I read for a BPhil in Philosophy and a MSt in Ancient Philosophy at the University of Oxford, and a BA in Classics at the University of Manchester.

My work spans the history and philosophy of science, the philosophy of medicine, and the philosophy of mind. I am particularly interested in foundational problems in the study of pain and their implications for contemporary pain science and medical practice.
