Biography

I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton, focusing on issues in philosophical logic, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and aesthetics. I serve as the editor of 'Analysis' and have held roles such as treasurer for the British Society of Aesthetics and as a council member for the Aristotelian Society. My academic journey includes a BA, MPhil, and PhD in Philosophy from University College London. I have research interests in fictional characters, specifically exploring how fictional names function and the ontological implications of empty names. My project on metaphysics emphasizes repeatable artworks as created types through causal chains. Additionally, I examine the semantics of conditionals. I have published work on truth in fiction, material objects, perception, and modal logic, and I am open to supervising graduate students in these areas.
