My main research interests are the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of psychology, and related metaphysical and ethical questions, such as the problem of free will, moral responsibility, and personal identity. Currently, I am also studying relevant topics in cognitive science in order to broaden my perspective and methodology in addressing these topics of interest.
