I explore ontological questions across multiple domains, examining how different phenomena come to be, persist, and transform within their respective environments. My investigative path is deeply anchored in my lived experiences - as a philosopher engaging with scientific practice, as an academic navigating institutional structures, and as a neurodivergent individual. These personal contexts inform and enrich my ontological wanderings, leading me to explore:

 

• Scientific Metaphysics

  • ​Investigating the relationship between scientific theories and ontological commitments

  • Examining how scientific practice shapes our understanding of what exists

  • Analyzing the role of local versus global ontologies in scientific theorizing

• Academic Care Work

  • Exploring the inseparable connection between care and knowledge production

  • Studying how administrative labour contributes to the ontological life of academia

  • Examining the ways care work creates and sustains conditions for knowledge production 

• Neurodiversity

  • Investigating the ontological status of neurodivergent experiences

  • Analyzing how different ways of being manifest in institutional contexts

  • Exploring the intersection of individual cognitive differences and social structures

 

Through these interconnected streams, my work contributes to broader philosophical discussions about the nature of reality, existence, and human experience across various domains of knowledge and practice, always grounded in the concrete realities of lived experience rather than abstract theorizing alone.
