My research currently focuses on both theoretical and practical issues related to uncertainty. On the theoretical level, I investigate questions related to the underlying structures facilitating the representation of uncertainty as a probability, generally within a Bayesian framework. On the practical level, I investigate questions related to decision-making under uncertainty in the face of climate related risks, such as extreme weather events and climate tipping points. To facilitate this work I have been awarded a research grant from the Swiss National Science foundation (outlined below).
I also have wider research interests in aspects of complexity science, including climate change and machine learning, as well as issues related to expertise in science. I am always open to discussing ideas, whether informally or through a research collaboration.
As the Principle Investigatior, I was awarded an Swiss National Science Foundation Grant to investigate risk and the representation of uncertainty for decision-making around hydroclimatic events, such as flooding. I conduct this research at New York University (NYU), under the supervision of Prof. Omar Wani in the Tandon School of Engineering and Prof. Michael Strevens in the Department of Philosophy.Â
