I'm a PhD student in philosophy at University College London working on the semantics, logic and ontology of intensional transitives.

My other work in progress concerns indicative and subjunctive conditionals, epistemology, modal fictionalism, free choice permission and political obligation. I am editor of the Conditionals category of PhilPapers and I co-organize the London Logic & Metaphysics Forum.

Originally from Bedworth, Warwickshire, I studied economics at LSE and worked for HM Treasury and McKinsey before studying philosophy.
