I am an epistemologist specializing in applied, social, and virtue epistemology. I am a postdoctoral fellow in philosophy at the University of Vienna, where I am part of the Knowledge in Crisis project.
My work in applied epistemology has investigated conspiracy theories, deepfakes, misinformation and disinformation, epistemic vices, evidence resistance, and so on. My first book, entitled Misinformation, Content Moderation, and Epistemology: Protecting Knowledge, discusses the ways in which misinformation threatens the acquisition and retention of knowledge and what can be done about this. I am now working on a second book, titled Intellectual Virtue and Epistemic Environmentalism: Respecting Knowledge. In this book, I argue that epistemic outcomes are the product of complex feedback loops between features of intellectual character and features of epistemic environments.
In addition to my core areas of research, I have previously published articles on the extended mind, group minds, knowledge-how, the metaphysics of groups, scientific progress, and further philosophical topics. My research on the extended mind, and especially its connection to emerging artificial intelligence technologies, is ongoing. Together with Robert Rupert and Tobias Schlicht, I am currently editing a volume on the future of the extended mind.
