About
I’m a mathematical philosopher who mainly works at the intersection of logic, metaphysics, and epistemology. I also ❤ the (philosophy of) mathematics.
Teaching
[At university], the teacher does not exist for the sake of the student; both teacher and student have their justification in the common pursuit of knowledge. -Wilhem von Humboldt
Currently, I coordinate:
- Introduction to Logic (BSc AI, ca. 250 students) ▶ See [GitHub] for course materials
- Advanced Logic (BA Phil, ca. 25 students)
I also coordinate our tutoring program in AI:
- Tutoraat Basis (BSc AI) ▶ [GitHub]
Research
Research interests: hyperintensionality • mathematical structuralism • structural realism • deontic logic • metaphysical grounding
Editorial work: I recently joined the Journal of Philosophical Logic as associate editor.
