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).
Before moving to Edinburgh, I studied philosophy and theology at Boston College.
