Profile

I am a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow since May 2024. Before coming to 91Ö±²¥, I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin, 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. I am currently working on an extended project about pain measurement
