ABOUT ME


I am a Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at University College London. I am also a Fellow by Examination at All Souls College, Oxford University.

Much of my work concerns the metaphysics of mind and cognitive science. I am currently working on a book on our experience of time. Other current projects include work on various other aspects of visual perception, attention, and imagination.
