Bio
My research focuses on truth, language, and the communication of human knowledge. Some of the topics in my work include theories of truth, empiricism, scientific (anti)realism, naturalism, religious doctrines, and scientific representations (measurements and models).
I carried out my PhD research at the University of Edinburgh. Before moving to Edinburgh, I studied philosophy and theology at Boston College.
