I'm often thinking about how formal and mathematical work intersects with other branches of philosophy - in particular, philosophy of mind and epistemology. I wonder about traditional philosophical questions of knowledge, reference, and existence as they apply to mathematics, and the philosophical implications of mathematical ideas and results (particularly from a model-theoretic perspective). A recurring theme throughout my research is that mathematics and philosophy can helpfully inform one other, and that if one wishes to engage seriously with these questions, neither discipline should be ignored.

Outside of philosophy, I enjoy a variety of sports and dabbling in baking.
