My work focuses on perception and related topics in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language. I am particularly interested in the nature of perceptual content, the justificatory role of perception, and the unity of perceptual consciousness. I am currently working on a book in which I develop an integrated account of the phenomenology and epistemology of perceptual experience. One of the key ideas in developing this account is that the content of experience is best understood in terms of potentially gappy modes of presentations. I am also working on the structure of content more generally as well as the conditions for concept possession, the role of imagination, and the nature of mental capacities.
