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).
During the 2025 Hilary Term, I was a member of the Department of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. My current affiliation is with the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
I carried out my PhD research at the University of Edinburgh. Before moving to Edinburgh, I studied philosophy and theology at Boston College.
