RESEARCH SUMMARY
My research aims to advance our investigation of capacities of perception, thought, and action. I draw on methods and perspectives from philosophy, cognitive sciences, and machine learning. I have a special interest in movement -- in how forms of movement relate to forms of thought, and in what makes movement intelligent or intentional.
