I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also a Visiting Fellow at the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics, where I completed my PhD. My research interests lie in epistemology and the philosophy of science, with a special focus on modelling under uncertainty, robustness analysis and climate science. I am also interested in foundational issues in the philosophy of statistics.

Robustness analysis (RA) is the prescription to consider a diverse range of evidence and only regard a hypothesis as well-supported if all the evidence agrees on it. In contexts like climate science, the evidence in support of a hypothesis often comes in the form of model results. This leads to model-based RA (MBRA), whose core notion is that a hypothesis ought to be regarded as well-supported on grounds that a sufficiently diverse set of models agrees on the hypothesis.
