My research focuses on metaphysics, ontology and some logic. So far, I have mostly focused on the metaphysics and logic of modality. I've spent a lot of time thinking about possible worlds and the distinction between truth in, and truth at, a possible world and how it might help in defending propositional contingentism. Recently, I've been trying to branch out. I'm currently thinking about meta-/ontology (particularly nihilism—the view that we should ditch ontology altogether), composition and unity. I'm also interested in the metaphysics of properties and propositions.
