I was awarded my PhD from U. C. Santa Barbara in March 2011, having previously studied at the University of Athens (History & Philosophy of Science), Ohio State University, and Imperial College London. I work on issues in the Philosophy of Mind & Language such as the nature of propositions, indexicals, tense, externalism, and the relation between perception and action. I also have a strong interest in the Metaphysics of Time and relevant issues in the Philosophy of Science. My current project in UNAM focuses on the notion of tensed belief, exploring the possibility of tying temporally perspectival thought to perceiving temporal properties.
