Hi! I'm Danielle :)

​

I am an incoming Bersoff Faculty Fellow at NYU, affiliated with the Center for Mind, Brain, & Consciousness (Fall, 2026)

​​In Autumn 2027 I will join the Philosophy Department at The Ohio State University as an Assistant Professor.

​

I am a philosopher of mind, cognitive science, neuroscience, and AI + a historian of cognitive science and AI. As a philosopher of AI I have recently been writing about the black box problem and mechanistic interpretability (drawing connections to neuroscience and its consequences for computational theories). As a historian, I'm currently working on my first book project, Constructing the Computational Brain (under contract). ​

​

I've just finished a postdoc at Purdue, affiliated with the newly established Cognition, Agency, and Intelligence Center. Before that I was at WashU as a Mellon Postdoctoral Research Fellow. I received my PhD at UC Davis in 2023, supervised by Zoe Drayson.
