Areas of interest
My research is primarily focused on artificial intelligence and philosophy of language. Specifically, I am interested in the relevance of large language model technology to central debates in philosophy of language. I am also interested in context-sensitivity more generally and its relevance to debates in epistemology and other areas of philosophical debate.
From February 2026, I am PI on a 2-year AHRC-funded project titled “Large Language Models as Philosophical Inquiry”.
Postgraduate supervision
I'm happy to supervise PhD students in any of the following areas: philosophy of language; epistemology; corpus methods in philosophy; large language models and their relevance to philosophy (particularly philosophy of language).
