My areas of specialisation are philosophy of the life sciences and general philosophy of science. I have also published work in philosophy of mind with Garrett Mindt.
My research focus is currently oriented around developing the concept of a research strategy as a framework for the philosophical analysis of scientific practice. Levels of organisation was one such aspect and I now seek to explore and refine further aspects of a research strategy such as theoretical modelling assumptions; technological constraints; sociological factors; and boundary conditions, to name a selection. My current scientific area of focus is Cancer Biology; particularly Cancer Systems Biology.
I have recently been awarded my PhD by Central European University, Budapest. My dissertation is entitled Levels of Organisation in Scientific Practice. In the dissertation I sought to develop a practice-oriented account of levels of organisation that could be utilised for the analysis of epistemic practices in the (life) sciences. I argued that the subsequent account could be used to analyse the structural features of representations (models) and, in doing so, to illuminate key epistemic practices of a broader strategy of research; specifically the manipulation, integration, and transfer of information of, and between, systems of inquiry.
