I am a postdoctoral fellow of the Communicating Causality project at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Daniel Lassiter.
During the 2025/26 academic year I will be Fulbright Scholar at the New York University philosophy department, supervised by Kit Fine.
At present I am working on modality, philosophical logic, conditionals, and causality.
Congratulations
My Bachelor Thesis student, Puck Voorham, has won the 2024 Amsterdam AI Thesis Award for her thesis comparing the explanatory power of causal discovery methods. Congratulations Puck! 🎉

My PhD project was about casual reasoning and was supervised by Katrin Schulz, gratefully funded by the NWO PhDs in the Humanities grant. I completed the Master of Logic at the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation with a MSc thesis on logics of conditionals. Before that I did a B.A. in Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin under the supervision of Peter Simons and JTM Miller. My current projects concern causal inference, semantics for conditionals and experimental work on the meaning of negation in natural language. I am also interested in the connection between semantics and legal interpretation.
