Research areas
I work in metaphysics and philosophical logic, particularly at the intersection of the two. Most of my work to date has been in modal metaphysics, i.e., contingentism vs. necessitism and propositional or higher-order contingentism. I'm also more broadly interested in the metaphysics and ontology of properties and propositions, and other topics in ontology and formal ontology, e.g., ontological nihilism, composition, and unity.
