I am Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Bioethics at  Johns Hopkins University cross-appointed to the William H. Miller III Department of Philosophy and the Berman Institute of Bioethics, and with a secondary appointment to the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.  I am also a Volunteer Faculty Professor at University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology, where I am Philosopher-in-Residence at the Venniro Lab.

I specialise in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychiatry, moral psychology and clinical ethics. As well as being an analytic philosopher, I worked for a decade at The Oxfordshire Complex Needs Service,  a NHS specialist service for people with personality disorders and complex needs. 

Most of my current work is on Addiction. I've also worked to articulate a concept of Responsibility without Blame which is derived from my clinical experience working with people with personality disorders.  In general, my research is interdisciplinary: I tend to explore  philosophical questions that arise out of clinical practice and related sciences, often in connection with criminal and mental health law and policy.
