I am a PhD candidate in Philosophy at St. John’s College, University of Cambridge, and a Gates Cambridge Scholar.

My thesis, Disease, mental disorder, and looping effects, (submitted September 20, 2026; viva December 18, 2026) deals with topics in philosophy of science, medicine, and psychiatry, including the nature of disease, the nature of mental disorder, and medical classification.

Before my PhD, I got an MSci in Physics and Philosophy at King’s College London (2016–2020), focusing on the philosophy of quantum mechanics.
