Verónica Gómez Sánchez is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at UC Berkeley. Her main research interests are in the metaphysics of science and philosophy of cognitive science. The overarching goal of her current research is to understand how the properties and laws of the special sciences (especially cognitive science) fit into the physical world. She has a special interest in the nature of mental representation and its role in scientific explanation. Verónica got her PhD in Philosophy from Rutgers University and my BA from Universidad de los Andes. Before coming to Berkeley, I was a Bersoff Faculty Fellow at NYU.
