About Me

I am a Research Associate at the University of Glasgow. My research focuses mostly on the debate concerning the nature and epistemology of understanding; my present aim being to offer a unified picture of the relation between understanding, knowledge and epistemic justification.

While my work concerns primarily core issues in epistemology, I am also interested in issues related to normativity more generally. Some of my present projects are thus related to practical rationality and philosophy of action and I have growing interests in philosophy of language and in philosophy of mind.
