I work mainly in the philosophy of science and medicine. My recent research develops a theory of evidence to help understand how causal claims are established in medicine. (Please see my Research for more information.) I am currently a Lecturer in Medical Education at the Kent and Medway Medical School (2024-present). I was previously a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Kent (2018-2024). And before that, I was a Research Fellow in Medical Methodology on a project called Evaluating Evidence in Medicine (Arts and Humanities Research Council, 2015-2018).
I contributed to a top-rated 4* Impact Case Study for REF2021. And I am currently working towards another such Impact Case Study for REF2029. (Please see my current Projects for more information.) I was shortlisted for a Medical Humanities Award by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Wellcome Trust (December, 2020). And I was awarded the University of Kent’s Prize for Early Career Researcher involved in Knowledge Exchange (£3k, June, 2022).
I have convened many introductory modules in philosophy, as well as more advanced modules on logic, probability and causality, the philosophy of science and medicine, the theory of knowledge and evidence, and the philosophy of mind and language, and artificial intelligence. I also teach evidence-based medicine and issues in medical ethics. I have supervised postgraduate work in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of medicine. And I was previously the Kent Philosophy Department’s Director of Outreach, Recruitment, and Admissions (2019-2024). I was also on my School’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity Committee. In this role, I contributed to a successful Athena SWAN application (2019).
