Welcome to my philosophy site!

I am a Leverhulme Trust postdoctoral fellow in philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. I work on issues to do with epistemic closure, trust and risk. Specifically, my current project investigates the apparent connection between trust and risk, attempting to shed light on problems in the epistemology of trust by appealing to novel theories of the nature of risk. Before beginning my current fellowship, I held postdoctoral positions at the universities of Barcelona and Glasgow, before which I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh.
