He investigates visual evidence in scientific reasoning through microscopic imaging, explores logical pluralism tied to modal epistemology, and develops frameworks for understanding scientific continuity via styles of reasoning. His work on quantum mechanics connects identity to fundamentality while his revival of Pyrrhonism offers a non-dogmatic empiricist approach to skepticism. The integration of philosophy of art with scientific representation demonstrates his interdisciplinary reach across metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetics. His publication trends reveal sustained engagement with foundational questions in mathematics and logic, increasingly focusing on heuristic methods, counterpossibles, and conceptual engineering. Recent work emphasizes the process-oriented nature of mathematical practice while challenging traditional ontological assumptions through deflationary approaches.
