I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of South Florida in 2016, specializing in phenomenology and the philosophy of medicine and psychiatry. I wrote my dissertation on foundational issues in contemporary phenomenological psychopathology, including 1) methodological tools for the phenomenological study of psychiatric disorders; 2) how psychopathology and neuropathology challenge classical phenomenological presuppositions (such as the necessity of transcendental structures of subjectivity); 3) the relationship between phenomenology and naturalism; and 4) problems of interdisciplinary collaboration between phenomenologists and contemporary psychiatric researchers.
