Interests
Metaphysics (modality, parthood, and property theory); philosophical logic (unrestricted quantification, paraconsistency and dialetheism, non-normal/impossible worlds); philosophy of language (truth, semantic paradoxes); philosophy of logic and mathematics (status of logical laws, significance of limitative results, etc.); philosophy of religion.
Projects
I'm currently working on papers regarding various topics: possibility in the broadest sense, mereological supervenience, a sketch of a theory of truth called "transparent pluralism", and dialetheic responses to objections to classical theism.
My long term projects include giving a paraconsistent framework for mereology and considering its various applications (especially in mereotopology).
