My research covers a variety of issues in philosophy of mathematics and logic, metaphysics, and formal epistemology. I also have side interests in Leibniz and in the history of early analytic philosophy.
I am currently starting a book on the philosophical importance of post-1960 developments in set theory, with a particular focus on large cardinal axioms, inner model theory, and forcing axioms.
My other projects include work on absolute provability, generalized randomness, choiceless large cardinals, credence aggregation, and the application of formal methods to just war theory (in particular, nuclear war risk).
