I study set theory and the philosophy of mathematics. I also have interests in the philosophy of science. My philosophy advisor is Joel David Hamkins and my math advisor is Nick Ramsey.
Some themes I often find myself thinking about recently: choice principles; notions of constructivity; independence proofs and pluralism; finitely additive probability measures.

Notes
- My note on the Borel conjecture. The note contains a writeup for a proof of the independence of the Borel conjecture from ZFC. It follows the first proof of this result due to Laver.
