I received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Oxford in 2016 for a thesis in the philosophy of mind, specifically on the metaphysics of perceptual consciousness. My doctoral supervisor was Prof. John Hawthorne. Since receiving my DPhil I have been a teaching assistant at the University of Stirling and have had two academics papers accepted for publication.
