Assistant professor at
the philosophy department of San Francisco State University.
I am generally interested in scientific practice: the construction and evaluation of models,
how and what we learn from experimentation, in perception and the embodiement of perception; and in what philosophy of perception and philosophy of experimentation can learn from one another.
Recently, I have more specifically focused on the issue of experimental reliability and the role of relevance judgments in modeling, experimentation, and reliability.
