Welcome
I am assistant professor at the University of Connecticut, and a member of the UConn Logic Group. Publications, presentations, work in progress
Links: Philosophy Department – UConn Logic Group – Northern Institute of Philosophy
I am also associate fellow at the Northern Institute of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
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, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of art.
Some topics that currently occupy my mind are inferentialism, logical consequence, truth, abstractionism (a.k.a. neo-logicism), nominalism in the philosophy of art, ontological commitment, plural quantification, mereology, time, meta-ontology, and the role of model theory in philosophy.
I am also part of a team that is translating Gottlob Frege’s Grundgesetze der Arithmetik into English. Some details about this project can be found here.
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’.
