How to pronounce my name: 

I'm currently working on a dissertation that develops a pragmatist realism in the metaphysics of science. It is mostly engaged with contemporary views on causation, modality, and global expressivism. I have fairly wide-ranging philosophical interests, but I especially enjoy talking and thinking about philosophy of science, metaphysics, and the history of 19th and 20th century philosophy (pragmatist, analytic, and continental). 

I have a paper in Synthese on deflationism about epistemic justification: https://philpapers.org/rec/DEWDDA-2.
