Much of my research centers around metasemantics and metaontology: I’m interested in how meaning in language and thought is determined (for humans and AI), as well as methodology in metaphysics and its continuity with science. I also work on topics at the intersection of philosophy of technology, bioethics, and philosophy of disability, and some questions about practical rationality.
