Samuel D. Taylor

I work for the UK Government as the Head of Future Large-Scale Nuclear Policy (Department for Energy Security & Net Zero).

Previously, I worked in the Defending Democracy Taskforce in the Cabinet Office and Home Office.

I am also a visiting researcher in Philosophy at the University of Kent (where I was an Assistant Professor prior to joining the UK Government).

My primary research focus was on the role of causation and evidence in cognitive science, and on the relation between cognitive scientific explanations and theories of mental structure and content.  

Details of my research and my teaching experience can be found in my Academic CV and on my PhilPeople, Researchgate, and Google Scholar profiles.
