I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Missouri (Columbia). My area of specialization is in formal social epistemology. At present, my research uses agent-based models to investigate objections to the reliability of open-mindedness. I'm also interested in how laypeople ought to adjust their beliefs or credences — given that they should do so at all — when they learn the credences of experts.
On the side, I am also interested in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of religion, and applied ethics. My current work in the first is a joint venture with several colleagues regarding the impact of big science initiatives on the philosophy of science. My recently published work in the latter two presses a dilemma against those who hold a particular view of Hell, and a colleague and I have a paper under consideration where we argue against the criminalization of insider betting in prediction markets.
