Fields of interest
My philosophical interests focus primarily on metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science, but often move beyond those bounds. In a general sense, my interest is drawn to any philosophical endeavor that works to uncover, understand, or simply make the connections between abstract, foundational thought and concrete, real-life problems and experiences.
Research
The primary focus of my research is to explore the connection between the ontological foundations of reality and the epistemic limitations of the nature of our existence. My current research project is focused on exploring the limitations of knowledge by examining the dangers of fake news.
