I'm a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in philosophy at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. I am also an upcoming AI2050 Fellow, Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow, and ARC Discovery Project co-investigator.

Previously, I was the 2020 Robert A. Burt Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience in the Center for Science and Society at Columbia University. I completed my DPhil (PhD) in philosophy at the University of Oxford.

My interests lie mainly within the philosophy of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and mind.

I'm particularly interested in gaining a better understanding of modern artificial neural networks based on deep learning architectures, such as large language models. Assessing the capacities and limitations of these models is a challenging and interdisciplinary endeavor. I believe philosophy can provide important insights to establish fair and meaningful comparisons between machines and humans in various domains, including language processing and reasoning. In return, studying artificial neural networks can inform theorizing about human cognition.
