Research
My current research centres on developing philosophical responses to the programme in foundations of mathematics known as reverse mathematics.
In my Master’s dissertation I defended strong reflection principles as new axioms of set theory which are intrinsically justified on the iterative conception of set, and derived limitations on ontological accounts of higher-typed collections.
