Here are a few of my current research projects.

Formal Models of Science:

Using mathematical models, I investigate the social structure of academic communities and its effect on knowledge production, focusing on issues related to diversity and when well-intentioned policies backfire.

Social Dynamics and the Evolution of Disciplines (with Kekoa Wong)
Diversity and Homophily in Social Networks, Proceedings of the 44th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society (with Sina Fazelpour)
Structural Causes of Citation Gaps, Philosophical Studies.
Priority and Privilege in Scientific Discovery, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science. (with Mike D Schneider)
Discrimination and Collaboration in Science, Philosophy of Science. (with Cailin O’Connor)
Promoting Diverse Collaborations, forthcoming in The Dynamics of Science: Computational Frontiers in History and Philosophy of Science, edited by Grant Ramsey and Andreas De Block. (with Mike D Schneider and Cailin O'Connor)

Evidence-Based Policy:

In 2023, I was part of an interdisciplinary research group on the Epistemology of Evidence-Based Policy (EBP) with continuing collaborations in this area. We address various topics surrounding justifications for and implementations of EBP, including what it means (or should mean) to say a policy is “based on evidence”, what it takes for EPB to be successful, and the nature of evidence gaps in EBP.

Here are some projects where I was a member of the core team of writers:

Science–policy research collaborations need philosophers (with Mike Schneider, Temitope Sogbanmu, et al.)
A model of faulty and faultless disagreement for post-hoc assessments of knowledge utilization in evidence-based policymaking (with Remco Heesen, Mike Schneider, Katie Woolaston, et al.)

And some projects I contributed to, but not as a member of the core team:

Examining self-described policy-relevant evidence base for policymaking: an evidence map of COVID-19 literature (with Emelda E Chukwu, Katie Woolaston, Ricardo Kaufer, et al.)

Inclusive Fitness and Social Behavior: 

My work also addresses foundational issues regarding the best evolutionary framework to explain social behaviors and how insights from biology can shed light on human social structures. For instance, inclusive fitness is an influential framework in biology which is used to study the evolution of social behaviors, such as cooperative or altruistic behavior. There has been an intense debate over the status of the inclusive fitness framework. My work attempts to understand the explanatory value of inclusive fitness (as well as other measures of fitness) for evolutionary theory and where the disagreement in the debate really lies.

Unlike Agents: The Role of Correlation in Economics and Biology, Synthese
When it pays to punish in the evolution of honesty and cooperation, Synthese
The Debate over Inclusive Fitness as a Debate over Methodologies, Philosophy of Science 
Inclusive Fitness and the Problem of Honest Communication, BJPS. (with Justin Bruner)
Invariance and Symmetry in Evolutionary Dynamics, American Philosophical Quarterly. (with Simon Huttegger and Kevin Zollman)
Reintroducing Kin Selection to the Human Behavioral Sciences, Philosophy of Science

Experimental Economics in Philosophy:

My colleagues and I use methods from experimental economics to investigate philosophical questions. Currently, our research centers around the evolution of language and the emergence of inequity.

David Lewis in the Lab, Synthese. (with Justin Bruner, Cailin O’Connor, and Simon Huttegger)
Communication without the Common Interest: A Signaling Experiment, SHPSC.  (with Justin Bruner, Cailin O’Connor, and Simon Huttegger)
Experimental Economics for Philosophers, Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophy, edited by Eugen Fischer and Mark Curtis. (with Cailin O'Connor and Justin Bruner)
On the Emergence of Minority Disadvantage: Testing the Cultural Red King Hypothesis, Synthese. (with Aydin Mohseni and Cailin O’Connor)

Genetics in Evolutionary Game Theory: 

Evolutionary game theory is often viewed as a 'phenotypic' approach to studying evolution, meaning that models generally only take into account the observable traits of organisms (their phenotypes) and ignore possible effects of genetics. My research challenges the common, and often implicit, assumption that this ‘phenotypic gambit’ will be a safe bet in evolutionary game theoretic models.

Genetic Models in Evolutionary Game Theory: the Evolution of Altruism, Erkenntnis. 
The Phenotypic Gambit: Selective Pressures and ESS Methodology in Evolutionary Game Theory, Biology and Philosophy.

Book Reviews:

These are good books!
