I am a postgraduate research assistant and teaching assistant in philosophy at University College London (UCL), studying towards a PhD after award of the MPhil Stud and Postgraduate Research Excellence Scholarship for Cross-Disciplinary Training. I am also an Associate Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). 

My research is in aesthetics and neuroesthetics, with a focus on the phenomenology of aesthetic experiences. My doctoral thesis is on methodologies in aesthetics, and proposes a neuro-phenomenological approach based on the method of epoché — i.e. a "suspension" like in the "suspension of disbelief". 

I currently work as a Lecturer and Head Tutor for a master's level course in neuroesthetics, facilitated by Lettera i. I teach across departments on the UCL Aesthetics and UCL Neuroesthetics modules, among others; I also teach Introductory and Advanced tutorials in philosophy, for which I designed both syllabuses. I have most recently taught modules on interdisciplinary research methods at the BASc and MASc levels. I have worked with UCL Philosophy, UCL Biosciences, UCL Arts & Sciences, as well as UCL's Slade School of Fine Art and Bartlett School of Architecture; I have also worked as a research associate of the UCL Laboratory of Neurobiology (Zeki Lab). I also have extracurricular experience as a Warden and Student Residence Adviser for UCL Registry. 

I am an organiser of the London Aesthetics Forum and member of the British Society of Aesthetics and British Society for Phenomenology.
