Research Overview
I am currently developing two research programs. The first investigates the nature and phenomenology of mental imagery, with a focus on aphantasia. The second examines metacognition and its implications for epistemology, particularly perceptual justification and self-knowledge.
My previous research focused on two interconnected themes in the epistemology and philosophy of perception: phenomenal force and the top-down effect of cognition on perception. I examined whether phenomenal force is intrinsic to perception, how sensory imagination influences perceptual processing, and what these questions imply about the rationality of perceptual belief. I have also developed an epistemological theory of episodic memory that explains the significance of different forms of memory construction.
