My PhD in Philosophy, with a Certificate in Cognitive Science, is from Rutgers University. I joined the faculty at San Francisco State University in the summer of 2009, and I am currently Professor of Philosophy. My research focuses on the intersection between philosophy of mind, epistemology, and cognitive science. For an overview of my research, here is my interview with Richard Marshall at 3:16.
