My main research areas are the philosophy of AI, epistemology, and truth. I am also interested in certain topics in the philosophy of technology more broadly, metaphysics, and the philosophies of logic and mathematics. In the past I have done a fair amount of work on pluralism about truth, logic, and ontology, as well as non-evidential warrant, epistemic value, and epistemic consequentialism. Quite some time ago I did some work on the epistemology of absence-based inference, open-ended schemas, and neo-Fregeanism in the philosophy of mathematics. In recent years I have grown an interest in the history of analytic philosophy in Asia. 


Prior to coming to Korea I did a Ph.D. at the Arché Research Centre, University of St. Andrews and then held two research fellowships—the first at UCLA, the second at University of Copenhagen. In addition to my Ph.D. I hold a BA and a cand.mag. from the University of Copenhagen and an M.Litt. from the University of St. Andrews. During my time at UCLA I founded the Southern California Epistemology Network, and at the University of Copenhagen I was a founding member of the Social Epistemology Research Group. 


I like well-balanced flat whites, blue sky, cooking pasta, and mixing cocktails.
