About
I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. Before coming to the Windy City, I received my graduate training at the University of Texas at Austin and my undergraduate training at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and Oxford University. My dissertation "Modality in Flux" develops a dynamic semantics for modals and was directed by Nicholas Asher and Josh Dever.
I mainly work on problems that live at the intersection between philosophy and linguistics. My principle research topic is the dynamic perspective on natural language semantics and what it has to say about modality. The reason why this is all interesting is that dynamic semantics can make good sense of content which is not truth-conditional content, and this is a feature I frequently exploit in my stories about tricky issues in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. In the future, I hope to extend my work on dynamic semantics to noncognitivism in ethics.
