I'm a Fellow by Examination (aka JRF) at Magdalen College, Oxford. I'm also an assistant professor in the philosophy department at the University of Pittsburgh---starting January 2021 I will be there full time.  I received my PhD from MIT. 

I work on epistemology, logic, language, and their intersections. In epistemology, I'm interested in what we should think, why we should think it, and what we should think about what we should think. In logic, I'm interested in various models of these things—especially combinations of probability theory and epistemic logic. In language, I'm interested in various statements about them---especially the semantics and pragmatics behind ascriptions and denials of knowledge, belief, and probability.

My current projects focus on what epistemology can teach us about human reasoning. Psychologists claim to have shown that people exhibit over one hundred different irrational reasoning biases, yet it turns out that careful thinking shows that at least some of these "biases" are not irrational at all.  My goal is to bring philosophically sophisticated models of rationality to bear on the interpretation of these empirical results---to help assess how irrational we truly are.

Here's my CV.
