I am a philosopher at the University of Exeter. I work in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science on topics like emotions, sociality, psychopathology, and human-AI interactions. Sometimes I also write about comparative philosophy and music.
Lately, I've mainly been writing about philosophical issues raised by autism, as well as some ways we use AI companions for social and emotional purposes: to love, grieve, cope with loneliness, etc. I'm lucky to have excellent collaborators.
