Postdoctoral fellow
I’m a postdoctoral researcher working in the philosophy of cognitive science and the philosophy of mind under the supervision of Dr. Nir Fresco. Much of my past work attempts to understand the metaphysical and epistemological relations between memory and imagination. Questions that have particularly interested me concern whether memory and imagination are distinct mental processes, and whether the constructiveness of memory undermines its status as source of knowledge about the past. Currently, I am working in collaboration with Fresco to provide an account of how spatial knowledge via cognitive maps is related to and differs from mental states like belief and desire. This is part of an ongoing project to understand informational distinctions between types of long-term memory.
