Welcome

I am assistant professor at the University of Connecticut, and a member of the UConn Logic Group.

I am also associate fellow at the Northern Institute of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

I received my Ph.D. from the University of St Andrews in 2006 for a thesis with the title ‘Second-order Logic: Ontological and Epistemological Problems’.

Until August 2008, I was a postdoctoral research fellow of the Arché research centre of the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

My research interests lie mainly in the philosophy of logic and mathematics, but I am also interested in philosophical logic, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and aesthetics.

Some topics that currently occupy my mind are inferentialism, logical consequence, truth, abstractionism (a.k.a. neo-logicism), nominalism in the philosophies of mathematics, art, and logic, ontological commitment, plurals, higher-order logic, mereology, meta-ontology, and the role of model theory in philosophy.

I am also a co-translator of Gottlob Frege’s Grundgesetze der Arithmetik. Some details about this project can be found here.

I am spending the summer at the University of Stirling as visiting scholar, funded by a grant from the British Academy.

For the academic year 2010/11, I hold a fellowship at the UConn Humanities Institute.
