His research also examines paradoxes through modal logic and semantic hierarchies, challenging traditional approaches to truth and satisfaction. Key research themes include the analysis of fallacies in paradox proofs, the role of hypodoxes in paradox resolution, and the application of non-classical logics like Ł3 systems. His recent work (2024–2025) explores whether dialetheists can maintain logical regularity while accommodating contradictions. Eldridge-Smith's publications span over two decades, reflecting sustained engagement with foundational questions in logic and philosophy. Though no specific awards are listed, his extensive research output and h-index of 42 indicate significant scholarly impact. He advises no listed students, focusing primarily on individual research and theoretical contributions. His work is accessible via his ANU profile and ORCID (0000-0001-7780-9201).
