While I am fascinated by ancient philosophy (particularly Plato), my real philosophical passion lies in Philosophy of Mind. While I spent a lot of time on the broad discipline of Phil Mind, I have concentrated on the nature of human consciousness and cognition and how that relates to the notion of artificial intelligence. Can machines ever reach a point of cognition comparable to that of a human? I believe that eventually science and technology will bring about sentience in machines and there are many philosophical questions that must be answered before that occurs.
I recently examined mental disorders from a philosophical perspective and completed a thesis on Dissociative Identity Disorder. I presented an alternative theory for how to deal with the disorder both legally and ethically.

My interests are in metaphysics and philosophical logic. In particular, I am interested in modality and identity. I also find the metaphysics of space and time intriguing.

Since I've completed my undergraduate studies in philosophy I've been teaching seventh-grade English in a public charter school in Washington, DC.
I'm primarily interested in ethics, metaethics, and action theory, though I've also spent cherished time with philosophy of religion, philosophy of cognitive science, aesthetics, and the majority of Plato's dialogues. I wrote my honors thesis on Nietzsche.

My philosophical interests focus on pragmatism. This includes its historical origins as well as its complex evolution throughout the 20th century, especially through thinkers like Quine, Rorty, and Wittgenstein. More specifically, I am interested in the consequences that pragmatism imposes upon philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and metaphysics. Outside of philosophy I spend lots of time reading fiction, some of my favorites being Joyce, Nabokov, Vonnegut, and Updike. I am also an amateur astronomer, an avid jogger, and a zealous chef.

As a native of Northern Ireland, a region that is home to a long-standing and often violent politico-religious conflict, I have been motivated to study human rationality, broadly construed. My primary research to date has concentrated on theories of normativity and the interpretation of experimental reasoning tasks, the nature of belief-revision and inference, and the relation of logic to probability and information theory. Secondary research topics have included conscious awareness, volition, and reasons for action. I have sub-disciplinary interests in the Cognitive Science of Religion and the Cognitive Science of Science, and these are areas in which I hope to apply some of my research on the aforementioned topics.

My interests lie primarily in philosophy of logic and of language, and I am mostly fascinated by the concepts of truth and logical consequence. In particular I concentrated in proof theory, inferentialism, semantic paradoxes and counterfactuals. I am also interested in modality, philosophy of mathematics, and the realism/antirealism debate.

My primary interests are in epistemology and philosophy of mind, particularly in the intersection of the two areas. In epistemology, I am interested in theories of justification that confer a positive epistemic status on phenomenal seemings, such as phenomenal conservatism or perceptual dogmatism. I am also interested in contemporary attempts to explicate a viable form of internalist foundationalism. In philosophy of mind, I am primarily interested in the nature of mental content in perceptual experience, intentionality, and the relationship between phenomenology and intentionality. The hard problem of consciousness is also an issue that I find fascinating. In addition, I have some interest in metaphysics, especially in mereology and the criteria of personal identity across time.

My main area of interest is in philosophy of language. I am particularly interested in context sensitivity, definite and indefinite descriptions, Paul Grice’s theory of conversational implicature, referring expressions, and the distinction between semantics and pragmatics.
Other areas of interest include metaphysics and epistemology.
