Research Interests: Wrigley specializes in the philosophy of mathematics and logic, with a focus on the history and philosophy of axiomatic mathematics. He has conducted extensive work on the mathematical and philosophical contributions of Kurt Gödel, including analyses of Gödelian platonism and the disjunctive argument. His research also spans the history of analytic philosophy, particularly the legacy of Imre Lakatos and formal ontological frameworks like Sider's Ontologese.

Publications: His work bridges historical and contemporary debates, with recent articles examining the Euclidean Programme and Gödel's contributions to logic. Earlier publications address foundational issues in arithmetic and set theory. These works collectively highlight his engagement with axiomatic systems, mathematical rigor, and the intersection of formal logic with metaphysical inquiry.
