ABOUT ME:

I am a graduate student in the University of Pittsburgh's History & Philosophy of Science Department. Recently, I have been learning a lot about the use of formal systems to pursue questions in the epistemology of science. Thus, recent areas of interest include confirmation theory, Bayesianism, and probability theory. Generally, my interests lie within the general philosophy of science, mainstream epistemology, and formal epistemology. My latest research project has to do with explanatory reasoning and its relationship to Bayesianism.


NEWS:

May 10, 2008. I will spend the 2008-2009 academic year in the Netherlands where I will be a research fellow in Tilburg University's Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science.

April 3, 2008. I was honored with an invitation to present some of my recent work on the conjunction fallacy to the Workshop on Probability, Confirmation and Fallacies in Leuven, Belgium. My talk was titled, "Recent Experiments on Confirmation and the Conjunction Fallacy." See workshop schedule here.
