Education

• PhD in Philosophy, University of California, Davis (dissertation: 'An Instrumentalist Account of Race and its Applicability to the Empirical Sciences')

Research focuses on redefining race as an instrumental construct within empirical scientific frameworks. Key investigations explore how racial categories function as methodological tools rather than ontological realities, with implications for social epistemology and scientific practice across disciplines.

Current academic service involves fellowship responsibilities within LSE's Philosophy department, contributing to departmental research initiatives without specified teaching obligations.
