Overview
Hi! I am an associate professor of philosophy at Duke University where, amongst other things, I organise the Duke Causation Group and the Duke/UNC Epistemology Workshop.
I have a wide range of research interests, but these days I work mostly on epistemology, decision theory, the philosophy of probability and causal inference.
Before coming to Duke, I was an Alexander von Humboldt research fellow and 5-year Zukunftskolleg research fellow at the University of Konstanz. Before Konstanz, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, and before that I was a PhD student at the University of Bristol.
