Over the years, I have researched the following topics: the Continuum Hypothesis (history and philosophy of), the justification of new axioms, the set-theoretic multiverse, reflection principles and large cardinals, mathematical Platonism, abstraction principles, logical fallacies, and topics in the history of logic.
