My research focuses on general philosophy of science, early modern HPS (natural philosophy), and metaphysics. My recent publications encompass such topics as laws of nature, metaphysics of science, scientific realism, empiricism, pluralism, and modality. I am currently undertaking a 4-year research grant (2025-2029) on models in science, specifically on modal modeling and scientific modalities (possibilities and necessities).
