About
My primary research interests are in decision, game, and rational choice theory. My work focuses on how an individual should take risk into account when making decisions and how we should best model risk attitudes within decision theory; and I argue for a more permissive theory of rationality than is standardly assumed. I am also working on two applications of this theory: one in formal epistemology and one in the philosophy of religion. In philosophy of religion, I am interested in what faith is, and under what circumstances it is rational to have faith. I also have more general interests in the philosophy of religion, and in epistemology.
