Work

I am an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at Stockholm University. Before moving to Stockholm, I was a lecturer in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh and a Mellon postdoctoral fellow in natural language semantics and pragmatics in the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University.

Research Interests

Most of my published research is in the areas of philosophy of language, formal semantics, and logic -- and these are my main areas of expertise. In recent years, I have however turned my attention to issues in the intersection of AI and philosophy of language, and game theory. I'm particularly interested in how AI can be used to construct theories that provide robustness to small deviations from Nash.

Education

I did my PhD in philosophy under the supervision of Herman Cappelen, Josh Dever, and Jonathan Schaffer at the Arché Research Centre at the University of St Andrews. During my PhD and MA, I was a visiting student at the University of Texas at Austin and at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My dissertation consisted of a series of papers on the meaning and conversational function of definite descriptions.
