Based in Toronto, I do academic research at the intersection of perception, memory, and motor control. Looking now for my next research opportunity, I previously developed ultra fast wearable embedded sensor systems for sport, through my company Performance Sonification. I recently dissolved the company after some proof-of-concept experiments in a collaboration with Harris Lab at York University showed the development of the tech as a commercial product would be too costly, but I continue purely scientific work on sonification with Harris Lab. I’ve spent a decade as an academic philosopher doing fundamental research in cognitive science on the nature of perception and memory. Currently, I am an associate member of the Centre for Philosophy of Memory, studying the role of memory in perception.

In my academic career, I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Network for Sensory Research in the Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto. In that position I worked with Mohan Matthen, who’s done seminal work on the link between perception and motion. I completed my Ph.D. in philosophy at Rice University (Houston, Texas), working under Casey O’Callaghan, a leading philosopher of sounds who studies multimodal perception. In addition to my work in cognitive science, my background includes university courses in advanced mathematics and physics. See my portfolio for example work.

I’ve been an amateur athlete much of my life, competing in both powerlifting as a youth and track cycling as an adult. In the past, I’ve raced at velodromes in Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario. I’ve also worked as a community youth cycling coach and as a bike mechanic in a local bike shop.
