My primary areas of interest center around metaphysics, often intersecting with topics in philosophical logic or philosophy of science. Particularly, I find myself most interested in questions concerning the existences or features of worldly structures. This is often manifested by an interest in the structures of material objects, whether they be mereological, locational, or topological, and how these structures interact with one another, which is the topic of my dissertation. My research also spans the metaphysics of properties, laws of nature, plural logic, worldly hyperintensional phenomena such as grounding and truthmaking, and higher-order metaphysics.
