My research focus is on Hume’s positions on argumentation and on the processes by which beliefs are generated and stabilized through argumentation, as well as the ways in which we can accelerate philosophical progress by better understanding these processes. Most recently, I taught at UNC. Prior to that, I was based at UCD and funded by a grant from the Irish Research Council. My doctoral dissertation, which I defended in 2019 at Notre Dame, concerned Hume’s account of knowledge. I also have interests in philosophical and pedagogical applications of artificial intelligence, and I currently work in industry focused on the latter.
