Thesis title: God, science, and truth: A signpost theory of truth for science and religion

Biography

Background

My research focuses on truth, language, and the communication of human knowledge. Some of the topics in my work include truth, empiricism, scientific (anti)realism, naturalism, religious doctrines, and scientific representations (measurements and models).

From 09.2020 to 08.2023, I carried out my PhD research at the University of Edinburgh. Before moving to Edinburgh, I studied philosophy and theology at Boston College.
