My research lies within metaphysics and the philosophy of language. I am currently working on projects in meta-ontology concerned with the nature of ontological commitment and the relationship between ontology and ordinary theorizing.

In addition, I have historical interests in the analytic tradition. I have written on Frege's semantics for quantification. I am working on projects on incomplete symbols in Russell's philosophy and Carnap's view of ontology
