I’m a philosopher working on a spectrum of issues spanning philosophy of science (and in particular: ecology, evolution, and anthropology), moral psychology, social epistemology, and ethics.

Currently my major research projects are:

• Progress, human success, and enhancement

• Organismic agency and animal welfare

• Trust and Professionalism

In keeping with my beliefs about professionalism, I also provide various forms of philosophical service to the wider community, regarding: academia and mental health, autism and trust, relationships and trust.

Before coming to philosophy, I did a degree in physics and mathematics at the KU Leuven with a research stint at the Kavli Institute at Stanford. I'm also a professional violinist, having studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels & the Conservatoire Nationale Supérieure de Musique de Paris. I've performed in most major concert halls in Europe, and still do 15-20 concerts a year.
