About Me
I'm currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, where I received my Ph.D. in 2016, and taught as Lecturer, 2018–2020.

Previously, I was Lecturer and SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at UC Berkeley.

My research is aimed at understanding and rehabilitating post-Kantian philosophy in order to develop it today as a viable mode of philosophical inquiry.

On the one hand, this involves scholarship in the history of philosophy focused on Kant, German Idealism, German Romanticism, Neo-Kantianism, and phenomenology; on the other hand, it involves the ongoing development of the insights contained in the post-Kantian tradition in the form of systematic philosophical methods and positions that can sustain contemporary scrutiny.
