Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to blend two distinct bodies of work under one name: philosophical writing on epistemology (theories of knowledge, skepticism, and religious belief) and empirical public-health/survey-methodology research using European aging survey data (SHARE) and COVID-19 studies. Prospective students should note the record likely conflates two different researchers, since the topics and venues have little overlap. Given the philosophy topic labels provided, the philosophy-focused work concerns questions like how we can have justified beliefs, the problem of radical skepticism, and how religious belief (including Christian theology) can be philosophically defended.

Publication output has been uneven over the past decade, with a low steady rate through 2019, a sharp spike in 2020–2021, a dip in 2022, and renewed moderate activity from 2023 through 2026.
