I am an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I work mainly in Semantics, Pragmatics, Philosophy of Language and Cognitive Science. My current research explores the ways in which an automatic, unconscious capacity to compute logical inferences and information maximization operations shapes our capacity to encode and decode information in natural languages. I also work on related topics in the foundations of cognitive science, including the nature of concepts and their effect on categorization and judgments.
