I am a Ph.D. candidate in the philosophy department at Rutgers University. While pursuing my doctorate in philosophy, I earned an M.S. from the Rutgers mathematics department.

My research interests include metaphysics, philosophy of science, philosophy of physics, philosophy of biology, epistemology (traditional and formal), and feminist philosophy.
